G&L basses

Now that's interesting. I thought the early L-1000's and 2000's had the same neck..?? My 1980 L-1000 neck is the width of a Fender C-neck (1-3/4" nut), but quite thin front to back and easy to play. Tom

My L1K of that era was the same 1.75 at the nut but was a deep C. felt like a slightly rounded 2x4... bass sounded great though. When I was playing bass exclusively it wasn't a huge issue although it really did make my P Bass neck seem small in comparison. When I started doubling on guitar it was just out of the question. Too hard to move back and forth quickly... (ummm, let's make that 2x4 as opposed to 2x14 shall we ... Thanks for the typo catch Tom!)

G&L basses are hard to find because most are owned in vast numbers, im reliably informed, by a small percentage of the bass playing fraternity, who keep 'em hid, thus creating a lack of them in every day use. :scowl: I own one and love it to bits.:eek:

Well there was one that wasn't gonna get any attention, that is in your house now. I love all of mine to bits and let them go out and play with friends until I land another gig. ;)
