G&L Club Part 7

for the L2000

i use a fuzzrocious rat tail with a clean blend and a feedback loop set to no diodes as more of an extreme drive
the fuzzrocous dark driving is great too if you find the rat tail too out of control
the moog delay is great too if you really want to keep the character of your bass and amp and just boost your signal to overdrive your amp


Hey, as long as this is popping up in my inbox:

For those of you who use basses with MFD pickups, I'm looking for a really high gain fuzz or distortion with lots of midrange. I like the Malekko B:Assmaster but the truth is, I prefer the sound of running my P pickup wide open and the MFD has such high output that the pedal doesn't provide a ton of boost in actual volume, which is necessary when you kick on this kind of distortion. For lower gain overdrive the Xotic BB Bass pre is great, though. Tons of volume on tap even when I'm running full up on the P pickup. The Idiot Box blower box is a candidate but I wish it had just a bit more saturation and sustain.

I asked on the effect forum but in case there are G&L users who get pinged on this thread who don't read there, I'm being slightly naughty and cross-posting. Sorry!
 
Hi guys,

I totally don't want to step in anything by posting this here, but I thought you may dig it. We're going to be cutting demos and stuff in a new studio named Live! At Leo's here at the G&L factory. Here's a teaser with an L-2000 through a BBE BMAX-T DI out:



Let me know what you think and/or what you'd like to see/hear.

Thanks, guys.

a 5 string asat bass with jb5 headstock
 
I had a few made in the late '90s for UK at artist Cass Lewis. They were really neck divey but he didn't care; he wanted the L-2500 tone in the ASAT shape. With a JB-5 headstock it may be slightly worse.

Think people would go for it?
@2saddleslab has a neckdive answer on one of his asat's

I would kill for one in 5 string
I would have one in fretted
one in fretless
one for flatwound

all usa models

Hello! I would also love to see fretless demos, especially M and L series. Any possibilities of fretless Tribs? Would be so cool!

John

We aren't planning on doing Tribute demos unless it's something substantially different than made-in-Fullerton versions. That said, we may do some Tribute fretless in special run form, meaning we pick a model/color, do a run then move on to something else. We haven't been getting much in the way of dealer requests for Tribute fretless models, and while I understand that we can't rely on that to decide where we want to go, we are listening.

There's a few people that have asked about a 5-string ASAT before. I'd like to see the option of a 4+1 headstock available on all the other 5-stringers that G&L make. I'd also like to see the L-1000 added back into the lineup along with the L-1005.

Ron here wants the wunkay and wunkay5 to be in the line. Haven't thought about the headstock as we dig the 3+2 on a modern 5er. I insisted on the 4+1 for the JB-5; really had to be that way.
 
I remember an ASAT Strap Extender which I belive was basically a replacement 3-bolt neck plate with an arm extending out which holds the strap button. I can't use that with 6-bolt sans-plate setup. Have you seen something else out there?

it really isn't an issue for me personally, but I know some are more neck dive conscious that I, why can't g&l just sell an extender as an option on an asat5?

I personally wouldn't buy a 3 bolt neck, I love the 6 bolt ones!

make it happen

5 string asat!

(start cheer here)
