G&L Club Part 7

[1983L2000]

Just some old tookays (on the right, '83 and '84). They have the single coil mod (with an additional push-pull on the volume for Outer Coils/Inner Coils). Not that I don't like Dingwall pickups, but I can't help wondering how they would sound with MFDs on them...

Acquired my 2nd G&L yesterday. Tribute Fallout. A bit more mellow than the Kiloton but still pretty dang fierce. I love playing short scales. So much fun.

There's Something so right about that black/tort/rosewood combination!
Congratulations on your new Fallout!
Ergonomically, the only short scale bass I've played that I liked was a Fender Mustang.
I bet I would like playing the Fallout……

I'm not always a fan of gold hardware, but yowza!

How'd they get a gold bridge...?!?

Get it plated aftermarket?

No idea. They must know someone at a plating shop.

 

[MG Wolf]

Relisted and still available in the TB Classifieds.

That's directly from G&L, not aftermarket, so I'm sure G&L had that bridge plated gold as a one-off when it was at the plating shop.

yeah, I see it was pulled from G&L's Instagram now. shame... I just got a gold Pickguard on my Kilo. Full gold hardware or even black I think would set it off.

Nice! I like the color combo! Black hardware would be awesome. I have an old SB-1 with the black crinkle bridge and PG. Wish they'd do those again.

 

[BassFrehley]

I currently own 4 tributes. L-2000, SB-2, LB-100 and JB. I love all of them and I'm amazed by the quality, have yet to try the American versions. But I imagine them being superb. Only downside is the LB-100 and JB are heavy as hell, but they're built like tanks, so I feel like they'd survive the apocalypse. I wanted more mids, so I switched the LB-100 pups to EMG GZRS. Also I wanted to take full advantage of the SB-2 Bridge as well, so I changed the pickups to PJ GZRS as well.

Gold hardware is officially an option through the Custom Shop.

Unfortunately, black hardware is not.

Is your pickguard metal, or a metal finish plastic? Where did you get it? (Looks great!)

 

[MrUsefulAlien]

Apologies if this isn't allowed, but is anyone by chance selling a PJ set of MFD pickups?
I just got a Fender Pbass and need to get rid of the anemic stock pickups.
The MFD on my Fallout is amazing, would love some of the fattness in a Precision package!

No, but FYI the p will fit but not the j, totally different size. The Dimarzio model J is a ceramic magnet and the closest J that will fit the Fender.

You can buy these direct from G&L?

Pickup - SB-2 / SB1 MFD

 

[Ricky Rioli]

If not, the G&L online shop will sell you a pair, in case you didn't already know

Would love to hear them in the usual PJ positions.

Pickguard Planet, AFIK that is the only place to get Kilton Pickguards that aren't the white or black options direct from G&L. The guard is plastic. So it's gold on black. I'm guessing it's some sort of bonded foil.

 

[MrUsefulAlien]

I'm planning to do some routing work for the J position. I'd like to grab a used set, $160 is a bit steep new for me, I can get a new set of EMG Geezer or Dimarzio DP's for about $140.

That's where i got the Black pickguard for my Kton.
I did see a gold pickguard option,but I don't remember it having a metallic look.
Would you have the color number from their website?
