G&L Club Part 7

FB_IMG_1451095883681.jpg
 
Your CLF is exactly what I intend on buying towards the end of the year. I have a Pharoah Gold L-1000 that I bought last year and an L-2000 Tribute that I picked up last fall because it was cheap. The Tribute is a great bass for the money but a CLF or a really early L-2000 would be a worthwhile upgrade and damn if I don't love a black bass with a maple neck.

Tell me more about your L-1000! I'm strongly considering one.

Do you guys know if a CLF L-1000 can be ordered through the custom shop in a different finish than what is advertised?
 
knock,knock,,,new prospect to the club..my first and only G&L(so far....) my first 5,er though it was a love hate relationship at the start it gets a lot of love and respect now,(the more I get used to it) I love tobacco sunburst,,since I was a wee laddy its the color Ive always been captivated by... cheers!

Hey all,

Has anybody done a series/parallel mod on their Lynx??? It's such a great sounding bass but I bet a series option on one would be amazing!!!!. Not to mention it would open up more tones.

Before I got my Lynx I read somewhere that the output was kind of meh. That's total BS. Maybe compared to an L2K, but it's not fair to any bass to be compared to an L2K:)

On the Lynx the bridge pickup is powerful and the neck pup can more than hold its own solo'd. Mine has more output than some of my basses with active pre's.

I bet putting those two pups in series would make it breath fire. And a push/pull would be non invasive and totally camouflaged. I'm going to look into doing it.

Yup. It sounds utterly massive. It gets a bit of P bass character with big, fat low mids. You lose some treble response.

My bass is a first gen SB-2, but essentially the same bass as a Lynx. I replaced the 3 position selector switch with a 4 way I bought from Stew Mac. There was one hiccup - the 4 way switch needs more depth than the original, so I had to mod the switch a bit to get the solder tabs out of the way. It works perfectly fine, but if was to do it again I'd check to see if a push/pull would fit.

Neck & bridge pickups in the Lynx as well as the 1st generation SB2 are identical with the same output. I think you're confusing comments made about the 2nd generation SB2 which has a different pickup in the bridge position- similar looking but weaker. If you want tonal options put in a blend pot- BIG difference. That's my plan for my 1st gen SB2 fretted & fretless pair. IMO all G&L's with two pickups should come from the factory that way.
