She landed this morning I have been bonding all day
I love this bass!
Still getting used to coming from a Jazz neck to a Precision neck but wow I'm in love. I was surprised at how much lighter the guitar is. The sound is all there booming. Fit and finish dead on the money! Very VERY HAPPY!!

Right on man, that's a great bass. Simple but powerful. I love my LB-100!

 

[Slaphound]

G&L has so much to offer its customers. Their prices are good and the quality is good. I played my L2k last night at a gig and I was very happy. I'll get away from it sometimes because I get 'over' its great tone and look for something else......But I always come back.

Fallout Wunkay is apparently inbound!

I thought as much.

I saw this on instagram as well...I'm quite intrigued

I want THAT ONE.

As well.

You know, if they did that in 32" instead, that wouldn't break a man's heart either, but I get that the demand wouldn't likely make it feasible.

That looks Awesome! I am digging the racing stripes.

 

[IvanBassist]

I did a little something

 

[Luigir]

I did a little something

Thanks for the nice comparison. Among these three I'm liking the JB2 the most. I found it to be the more balanced.

I really liked the sb2 with neck pickup soloed too (an SB1).

The new short scale seems to be a nice mustang alternative. I'm not liking the stripes too much. They remember to me the mustang fender used to make in the early 2000.

Yeah, that MFD P-pickup is brutal!

New JB-5 just arrived on Friday and after a set-up and some new Pure Blues this is one beeoootiful instrument! Transparent orange on Empress, quartersawn maple (amazingly tight grain that shows on the fingerboard), white pearloid pickguard, pearl inlays, light tint gloss, model deletion. Very light and amazingly punchy sound. Thanks as always to Greg at Rocket Music.

That looks great! Congratulations!

Very cool! If the knobs are volume and tone, what does the switch do? 3 coil positions?

Wow, that's really nice looking! Love the transparent finish, the pearl block inlays, and the matching pearl pickguard. The grain on the fretboard takes it over the top.

One question. Why delete the model name from the headstock? Not judging, I'm just curious why. I've seen a few others do that recently, too.

A shortscale Wunkay would be quite awesome, only way to justify a new bass to the wifey

The wifey monitors your scale length?

Minimalism I suppose. Happy to have folks know I'm playing a G&L. The model number seems unnecessary. Not any adamant position on the matter though.

My matching headstock L1500 (2009?) has no model info either. That must have been G&L's decision.
