G&L Club Part 7

Well that should be good for a couple of pages. ;)
Have you narrowed it down at all. There's a ton of good options in their site. You're probably going to get a bunch of them suggested now. :thumbsup:
I personally love @/\/\3phist0 's silver flake. It's gorgeous.
A pearl PG might look good with that.

Edit: not sure if you can actually do that with a JB but it would tick a lot of boxes for me.

G&L has so many options, it is really hard to decide. I'd like to go with something that Fender doesn't offer. Old tobacco sunburst, ruby red or maybe tangerine. I'm on a budget so I won't go with premium finish or figured top.

How about old tobacco sunburst w/o a pickguard.
I just saw one on the net and wow!

Bel-Air Green is a thing. I like that on a J.

I saw this SB-2 on the G&L website and I HAD TO HAVE IT.
I bought it in December and was so impressed with it that I bought this (2nd hand) Kiloton in January here on TB. Both have pickguards :D although I may change the one on the Kiloton.
I am sold on G&L instruments. These two instruments are absolutely great players and they compliment each other tonally. I brought both of them to a gig Friday night and kept going back and forth between them. I did end up playing the Kiloton a bit more than the SB-2 but I just got it so I'm still learning about it.
I sold a Sire V7 last month. It played OK but there was just something about it that didn't gel with me (maybe that tremendous headstock :meh:). Funny how that happens.

In the light of the fabulous finishes seen frequently on this thread, these are not much, but since I was taking pictures of my basses this evening, here is a group shot:

Left to right: 1983 Wunkay, 1984 El Toro, ASAT Bass neck on a luthier Jazz body, Parts SB-2 (1989 body, 1984 neck), ASAT Bass neck on a Squier body (real python skin pickguard).


Lovely collection man. Random question....would\does the ASAT neck fit the '83 Wunkay? I have the opportunity to grab a 3 bolt ASAT neck that I won't be able to return at a decent price and been thinking of chucking it on my '95 3 bolt L2000. No one can quite say whether the neck pockets are similar or not.
