G&L JB5

[kkaarrll]

It's nice to see after all those years of "If they'd only make a 5 string JB..." they actually made one If I had a dollar for every, "If they'd only make a..." type thread I've seen on musician forums over the years I could buy this today, but I'm not complaining. Good job G&L!

if they would only make a 5 string asat with that neck

I believe one of our members here has one....if you care to look in the Mesa D-800 thread in amps

G&L Unveils USA JB-5 Bass


This is really good looking. I'm not in the market, but G&L fans look like they have another winner.

Just recieved a Tangerine Metalic JB5 Wednesday. So far I'm in love. Will have more details after Sunday. No picture, didn't happen. Well here you go!

Seriously OH LORD!!!! That is SWEEETTTTTTTTTTTTT, I really want one one real BAD.

That's the only downfall I've found so far. Don't take your hand off the strings. Neck is great but I'm used wide and flat. Not as wide as my Warrior or my Stingray SR5.
Just right!

As promised. Just finished rehearsal and the JB5 is freaking awesome!!!!
Ground hum is almost nonexistent on my Eden rig. Must have been ground loop in home wiring. Clear as a bell. I'm very excited with my purchase, everything reviews said and more. Thanks Leo, you're still rocking the bass world.

You just met and already in bed....sweet!!!
Something gives me the feeling that G&L will have trouble keeping up with demand...

I love that color!

I love that color!

It has always been my favorite bass body finish, with orange being a close 2nd.......3rd is black/maple/tort and 4th is natural.

I just snagged mine last week and then today saw you have it's rosewood twin in stock. Way cool. These have transformed the 5 string J clone market IMHO, since only a few years ago, finding a bass of this ilk under 9 lbs was like searching for the proverbial needle in a hay stack unless you ponied up for a NYC Sadowsky . Now Lull is getting his weights down quite a bit and the G & L J5 has lowered the price/weight bar significantly, with great fit, finish and tone.......plus the cool blood line to boot!

It'd dive like a peregrine falcon :-(

Right? I don't think G&L's heritage gets the love it deserves.

These basses look great!
