    G&L SB-2 neck width?

    I'm compemplating buying an SB-2 but there are none in the stores by me to try out. Can any SB-2 owners tell me what the neck feels like? Like a Jazz, P?, slim or round profile? Thanks in advance.

    Latest US Fender P Standard - am I dreaming??

    TWAINE funny you mention that bass. I just ordered a brand new sunburst/maple P yesterday. I'll post up photos if I could after it arrives. I purchased a new U.S.A. Jazz last month (sunburst/rosewood) and the neck really annoys me, like I'm fighting it or something. I'll be selling that one. I...

I keep staring at the cover and the two screws and then the thought of making two holes in in an unblemished, virgin body bothers the hell out of me. It's like the old "you can't put the genie back...

    The greatness which is Jack Bruce!!

    Yeah, I think Jack Bruce was definately underated or should I say overshadowed during that time period by the likes of Entwistle and such. I remember in the late 60's my older brother turning me on to Cream when I was just a kid (Disraeli Gears album?).It's funny you mention Jack Bruce, just a...

I'm 47, retired 5 years ago after working for the City of New York for 20yrs. I started off trying to learn guitar but that wasn't happening. I picked up the bass and I felt...
