Like that color with the matching headstock!
The output is fairly hot, but isn’t muddy in the least.
I previously had an Lb100 with the alnico pickup, this one sounds like it has more definition.
(Plus treble AND bass controls, as well as switching for SC/HB/OMG modes-lots of versatility!)
Thanks! It’s Belair Green, very intense and kind of hard to capture the color correctly!
Those knobs came off the (nonworking) intercom system in my house.And the knobs and the way they "wink" at the pickup!!
I thought they’d look cool on a guitar.
And now for a dramatic turn of events.....
Welp the bass arrived......and.....I can't paint it. The grain is WAY too nice. This bass is fan-friggin-tastic. I have a bass exactly like it. That one is being disassembled this evening, the EMG Geezer swapped into the new one and the body body shipped off to be painted.
When I ordered it I said to myself "I'll just paint the lesser of the 2." I didn't expect the second one to be even better.THIS folks is why I have 6 G&L Tributes.
Yeah, I had my natural tribute refinished, but chose a clear finish so I could still see the grain
No, it didn't. No pictures, no bass. It's all just a fairy tale. Nope, no bass arrived. There is no bass. Nope, I don't see no bass.
Do you see a bass? I don't see no bass...
And I don't see the other one that's actually gonna get painted, either. Just sayin'...
C'mon....
;->
Yes, I know the damn rules.
Let me take some pictures while I do some swapping and disassembly.
After a little bit of start/stop, I was able to get the Best Bass Gear wiring harness installed in the SB-2T so now I have a V-B-T configuration. I'm VERY happy with the results and the new configuration. All my two pickup basses have that setup now so moving from one to the other is very seamless.
I don't notice much if any difference sonically from the CTS pots to Noble pots but they do seem smoother. In any case, thanks again for all the suggestions. I'm looking forward to my next soldering project!

Here are the pictures that I promised. The one on the RIGHT (with G&L inspection sticker) is the new one.
All done. I installed a new set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings.

That's some quality shim material! I'm not sure there's a G&L these days that doesn't require shimming.
Don't know how you could pick one over the other to be painted. They both look great.
Enjoy!
