Was doing a setup on my L-1000 today. Checked the coils in OMG position. For those wondering, it is indeed a single coil position.

I think OMG mode as well as "wunkay" came from the G&L fans on the old dudepit forum.
Personally I don't care for OMG mode and never use it. I can get all the bass I need and more out of the other two modes with just the bass control but with more clarity. I could never get past how OMG mode makes the tone a bit murky and IMO artificial sounding. Same thing with L2000s in series. Don't care for it.
Steve, that really stinks. Hope you can track it down.
Hi,
I've bought an old '83 G&L SB-2 (for a ridiculous low price, considering i'm in europe).
But I can't read the stamps on the neck, nor the one on the neckpocket because the pain got in the way.
Is there some database to check when my bass was made?
It's a red SB-2 and it still has the serial number on the bridge and the number is higher then those from 82, so I've already narrowed that down.
Hi,

Try taking the neck off and looking at the date stamp. I don't know if you are going to find anything else more accurate.

Well, brought home my new to me 1984 Clear Blue El Toro. Pretty excited, hope the pics do it justice...![]()

Yeah this bass is pretty nice. Very few cosmetic issues and it plays very nice. The action is a little low so I am going to have it set up. I was watching the Climax as well. So did the sale fall through on it?i was drooling on that..... did you see the climax? it's back up for sale.....
Hello to all,
I would like to make the single coil mode(outer coil) on my G&L 2500 .. I would love to hear a clip to see if it's worth it ... there is someone who can make me hear me the single coil mode?
thank you very much
I would not want to end it sounded the same as the parallel mode
