G&L Club Part 7

View attachment 3915783 View attachment 3915784 View attachment 3915785 View attachment 3915788 Had me a NBD recently. Pharaoh Gold Firemist is super sexy. The CLF neck profile is outstanding, easily the best feeling G&L five string neck I've ever played. The control plate/knobs/switch tips are retro cool. Plus I was able to talk them into adding single coil mode so it's got all the tonez. Even though it's essentially an "appearance package" for the L-2500, it feels and plays like a small evolution. At least compared to my '01 L-2500 it does. It's earned a spot on the stage and the basement wall. Good stuff!

Pharaoh gold was my #1 choice. I'm not disappointed that I went with my backup plan.

Recently joined the club. G&L Kiloton 5 Jet Black Frost with the square pearl inlays, and a G&L L-2000 blue burst with maple neck. My GAS is about done. For now...

Sold the beat to hell SB2 1st gen body today so I slapped it's ASAT fretless neck on the 2nd gen.

What do you think- tort or black wrinkle metal?

This is one of the very few times that I'll vote for tort.

Love the tort, personally.
What color is the bass?

Where's everybody getting these metal pick guards for the SB basses? I wish I had one.

I ordered one from pickguard planet. Fits perfect. Cost about $60 though.

 

[Larry Mal]

Thank you... I didn't know that was possible. I put metal pickguards on all the guitars I can... helps reduce the noise. Thanks!

 

[ped]

Now that I've had a metal one I just can't handle plastic ones any more. They feel so... cheap

That looks KILLER

 

[Temcat]

Does anyone else think that the CLF headstock looks a bit too large?

Tough choice, they both look really good.

I am a huge tort fan and I love that tort. But the black integrates better with the bridge so, against my tort sensibilities , I'd pick the black one.

Another vote for black. Especially with that bridge.

Totally different look but my pref is tort.

 

[Scott Loveless]

I think the black pickguard completely removes the subtlety of the black bridge. It's just too much. The tort is a nicer balance.

This blue is just screaming 'tort'!
