Yeah, I love the G&L BUT the spacing is a little tight for me so I just listed the G&L on Ebay... Shame too because other than the spacing, the G&L plays sooooo sweet. Low action, no frett buzz and the flamed maple blue burst option is STUNNING on the G&L. Oh well, off to something else. I can only hope that the LeCompte plays as smoothly and as well as the G&L (but with the wider spacing)!

I'm mainly a four stringer and have no problem with the string spacing on this bass. It's just under 3/4", center to center, at the bridge and has a 1 7/8" nut. The tone is all there too and with the splitter switches there are lots of options. I think you'll get a real kick out of it. She ships on Monday. Have fun with it. :)
