G&L Club Part 7

[HeavyJazz]

Anybody else try this mod? It's my second for ol' #1 - a 1997 L2000. Had a Bartolini NTMB installed for several years with passive/active and dual position mid sweep. But as time went I discovered just how suited 2-band EQ is for my styles. Hence a boost-only, 18V Aguilar OBP-1. Wired it with the series/parallel switch and a p/u balance knob. Moves some earth I must say!

From 2-band cut only to 2-band boost only. Interesting!

 

[HeavyJazz]

It drives somewhat like the Sadowsky controls where boosting and master volume turns are maybe 30-60%, never 100% like in most setups.

 

[bonin in the boneyard]

Not sure I follow. (I've never played a Sadowsky.)

 

[HeavyJazz]

On most basses the volume is up full then you tweak the tone. With this setup EQ and master volume work in concert so depending how you boost the EQ, master volume will only need to be increased based on how you adjusted it. Volume on full may knock you over depending.

Loving the redburst!!! Can't imagine the USA models being much nicer than this. The tribute is top quality.

Further to my prior post, about lack of sustain.....I lowered the pickups substantially. Bass still has massive output, and sustains much better. So, it wasn’t a nut or strings issue. Happy.

Leave it to G&L to make a budget instrument with quality nearly indistinguishable from it's custom and domestic lines.

So the L1000 is getting the 'CLF Research' treatment. Cool.

Pretty sure Greg from Rickey music confirmed it.

Darn. Just when I had defeated GAS.

This question has probably been asked already but I don't feel like leafing thru all 376 thread pages ..lol.. I need a new neck for an early 2000's 6 bolt L 2000.. How do I go about having the Bass renecked by G&L??? Do they do that? The truss rod is maxed out and the truss rod screw is worn out from me cranking on it..

That may be fixable, just take it to a luthier first. This method will be a lot cheaper too.
A new nut / re-threading the rod may fix it.

Where am I going to find a truss rod nut?

Will Fender nuts fit??

If you take it to a good repair shop they'll source any needed parts.

If you go through G&L for a new neck they'll likely want you to ship your bass to them for a proper neck re-fitment. I think you can call G&L for a cost estimate. Good luck.
