G&L Club Part 7

[armybass]

They can add as much as they like. Just don't take away any current US models. I'd like a JB5 and an M Series bass in the near future

The only Tribute Model offered in left handed is the L-2000.

What is the width of the nut on a Tribute LB100?
It's not listed on their site.
I'm looking for a 70's P style neck which would be chunky and sometimes called baseball bat shape.
Something like .820" deep at the first fret.

Educated guess here, since I don't actually own one (yet). The Fullerton Standard LB-100 has a C neck with 1-5/8" nut. If you poke around on Reverb you'll find listings for new Tribute LB-100s that have the same neck. I'd assume this is correct. From the G&L site:

"1 5/8" Medium C 1 5/8" nut width sits right between the traditional P and J bass widths, and Leo offered this nut width in the '80s. Generous edge roll with a medium depth and taper from 0.820" at 1st fret to 0.940" at 12th fret."

From what I was able to find, here are the specs for an LB100 Tribute.

Can you tell me where this was published?
The only 4 string Tribute that comes with a 1 3/4" nut is the L2000 and the US model is 1 5/8".

And I thought this would be difficult to find!
Just like you said and only $500.
G&L Tribute LB-100 4-String Electric Bass, Brazilian Cherry Fingerboard - Olympic White


EDIT: This is why I can't buy a G&L.
MF says 1 3/4" nut and nobody lists the weight.
I went through a bunch to get to 8.5 lbs.
Why can't these guys figure out how to market their instruments.?

That was taken from the GC listing on their website for the bass. I had seen Pitbull list a C profile 1 & 5/8th nut in their listing.

Here's a link to the Guitar Center site where the specs were listed.

Pitbull will weigh any bass they have in stock, if you call them.

Arrived yesterday, via @SLaPiNFuNK, @ Fretnation...

... SB-2T, in Spanish Copper Metallic, with 3 ply parchment pickguard. Thanks Jason, for the great customer service! My first G&L!

I really like that color...Nice

Thanks, Tony! I always have... my affinity for it probably lies in reading all those Doc Savage novels, at an early age.

... Doc Savage, by day... Spidey, after dark.

Beautiful! And I like that figuring on the fingerboard and head stock, too. That adds a nice, subtle touch.

I'm really happy with the gear I have, do not need more than I have already, and I honestly don't have any real GAS pains. But, but if G&L were to start making a 5-string SB2, that could change quickly.

Thanks for this.
Pitbull had the weight listed for only 1 of the 6 they have in stock (which is 9.1 lbs.).

Pitbull will weigh any bass they have in stock, if you call them.

Thanks John; I will call; very cool of them to do this.

Just went through this with a Lakland buy.
No stocking dealers for a few hundred miles and thanks to a really good Reverb seller the bass was exactly as described. The Lakland I bought on this board was not a great transaction.
The SB-2 (bought here) was nicer than described although the neck was more narrow and shallow than I thought it would be.
I just want to buy a nice new Tribute and my closest G&L dealer is a few hundred miles away and doesn't stock Tributes. Same with the GC's in my area.

Thanks, Dave! One of the first things I, as well as my G&L mentors (#enablers), noticed right off the bat... the neck itself is super nice, specifically the rolled edges... nice touch.

 

[dave64o]

Ha, enablers! That what this place is really all about. That we play bass is simply the way we focus/direct the enabling!

Uh oh. Problem with my new tribby JB. With the volume off on both pickups I still hear sound coming from the neck pickup. It's not completely off. That's a problem. Is the only fix a new pot?

It's the first place I'd check... possibly, the wiper is not completing it's full travel?

Thank you for this. I had taken the control plate off earlier, I wonder if I could have something blocking it.
