    Decided to go from G&L Tribute SB2 to Fullerton LB100

    Good to know! This is 2019-2020 Fullerton Deluxe- the Fullerton Red. I’m really excited about this- the Ed Friedland video of this really sold me

    Decided to go from G&L Tribute SB2 to Fullerton LB100

    I've been a guitar player for a long, long time. I've had a studio in some form for about 12-13 years now and recently decided to downsize but get only really good stuff. I want to thank so many on here who provide great insight into all things bass. I have been a singer songwriter who plays...

    Learning different techniques- your experiences

    I won't bore you with my life story- but been a guitar player, singer songwriter since the age of 15. I just naturally could play instruments when I picked them up- guitar, drums and piano to start. I always took bass for granted. When I tracked demos leading up to being signed (many years ago)...

    Double Bass A-Designs Reddi

    I have a SansAmp Bass DI, Rupert Neve RNDI and now a Reddi. This Reddi is everything I hoped it would be and more. It is the rare piece of equipment that just hands you the sound in your head. It actually does sound like a DI and a tube amp in one box. It's like it emphasizes all the right...

    Anyone compared G&L Tribute to Fender Player Series?

    This is great- I mentioned in a post just now that I am discovering the world of G&L MFD pickups and tone knobs and there really is a versatility there.

    Anyone compared G&L Tribute to Fender Player Series?

    Very helpful post here- thank all of you so much. I am learning the world of G&L as I have a three guitars as well as the bass. I have a Fullerton ASAT Special, and Doheny as well as a Tribute Fallout. Maybe more than any other guitars I've owned, adjusting the tone and volume knobs is such a...

    Anyone compared G&L Tribute to Fender Player Series?

    Thank you! You definitely did not ramble! It's funny, I produced a band's EP a long time ago and they got me an MIM Telecaster- I kept it just because, but I was just playing around on it and it's a great guitar- it sounds great and stays in tune like a mo-fo. I think in the past the idea that...

    Anyone compared G&L Tribute to Fender Player Series?

    Extremely helpful posts- I think you pointed out something which I am starting to realize which is that many of the records that I hold in high esteem have an actual p-bass on them. The SB2 sometimes feels like a bull in the china shop and I think a more traditional Fender would likely have the...

    Anyone compared G&L Tribute to Fender Player Series?

    I have an SB2 Tribute which I really like- I just had it set up by someone who actually knows what they are doing. However this Buttercream Player P bass has my attention. Has anyone compared these two lines of basses before? I had a Squire 70's Jazz that was pretty good for what it was, I've...

    Been lurking wanted to say high and ask questions

    So lots of great information here- thank you! So- My recording equipment is good- I think the set up of my Fender is a problem. I also have developed a certain strong preference for a particular range of bass sounds and styles. Without a doubt, the player and the technique matter greatly. A...

    Been lurking wanted to say high and ask questions

    Thank you! I feel what happened to my Fender was somehow the bass became muddy and the distance between the strings and pickups was way too much. The action isn't crazy high but the distance between the strings and the pickups is a problem. I feel that the hardware is a little wonky in that the...
