G&L L1000 Frustration

You have a great bass!!!! Don't listen to those who know little about what you play. In a studio, its about how it sounds not whats on the headstock. There are some studio engineers that are not comfortable unless it's something that they are used too. But a really good engineer that's "been around the block" will be a little more open to a good sound rather than a popular name. If they don't understand then don't bother explaining and let your fingers and the sound define you and your playing. Good Luck

Well said.
 
My frustration comes from the fact that the seller of my L-1000 has not yet sent me the tracking number for the shipment... Anyhow, please tell me the gauges of the hex tools I need for truss rod and bridge adjustments (I am getting this delivered to my hotel and need to tweak it right away...)
