G&L Club Part 7

[NE4TT]

Put an old set of TI JF344 Flats on the Lynx.
Sounds good through the B15.
The single coils are a bright pickup.
The flats help tame.
BTW, Do have the factory "radio" knobs.

A red Lynx is on my GAS list.

12 week+ now for my order, and no word of it. Placed order @ dealer 7/25. Dealer has told me repeatedly G&L are generally uncommunicative about this sort of thing, though I know they were invoiced for it a while back. Antsy.

Only dif with the 80s SB2 slab body is the Lynx has the "Comfort Contours".

Oh man, I didn't want to hear that. I placed my order in September. A buddy of mine got his in about five weeks last year. Lefty, too.

And the rosewood board on most Lynxes.

Speak to me folks...

Ive had a couple of tribby L2000s. One in particular was a real growler, but it had the extra wide neck. Sold it. Should've swapped necks.

Whats the magic of one growling more than the other? Im on a search

Strings and pickup height will make a difference.

IMO, Body and neck wood would be a secondary diff.

I have been checking out G&L's Instagram page.
Excellent examples of their finishes.
Yes, there are plenty of 6 strings, but check out the finishes.

Thanks for the info. Now I want a 80s SB2 with the maple board.

This is what I did starting early in the summer when block inlays became a thing. It became one of my daily stops and helped me settle on the clear blue finish.

A month or two later, a guitar with a spalted maple showed up and it had never even occurred to me that they did that. So that became my order. I lucked out with the timing as G&L went wood buying the week after I made my inquiry; so someday, if the fates allow, clear blue spalted maple amazingness.

I'm hoping for something like this plus this:

I highly recommend it.

Nice SB-2! I had one of those in black for a few years. Great bass. I used it more frequently than the L2000 I had at the time.

 

[TDR1138]

I had a black one as well. Wasn't playing much at the time, unfortunately, so it never got the playtime it deserved. Sold it to fund my LB-100, and I don't regret it, but I have nothing bad to say about the SB-2 other than the weight.

 

[4stringsjack]

I highly recommend it.

If someone gifted me an '81 hog wunkay, I'd not complain... Hey, isn't Christmas coming up soon?

If I ever run across two for free, I'll share the wealth with you.

Similarly, if I come across two red Lynx...
