G&L Bass

It is the "chunky" necks that I really love about my G&L. It's getting so I really don't think much of my Fender Jazz neck (though still love the P-bass neck).

Since everyone is putting their G&L herds on display I might as well do it too (again!) Natural is my Tribby (first G&L) other two are USA fretted and fretless. All are basically to die for. Custom pickguards are held on with double sided tape and are removable and swappable. Currently Tribby has a Tort guard (thanks to TB informing me that natural goes best with Tort) and USAs now have matching blue swirly.

PS. Extra "thing" between two switches on Tribby is now a pilot light. It indicates Phantom 9v power over TRS cable. Formerly it was a switch that in "K-mod" single coil mode allowed you to choose between "inside" and "outside" coils. But I found I was always using "outside" so I changed to an LED for power and took the switch out. Of course beauty of G&L is that without power you just flip to passive and it plays completely normal with EQ and the rest not quitting. As for other two, I try to make an effort not to drill holes in my expensive basses!
Sorry to reply to an old thread. But those pickguards are so sweet. Where did you get them?
Thanks!
