G&L Latest Arrivals

These three wicked G&L guitars arrived recently, and two of 'em are nitro! The binding on the Emerald Blue Metallic ASAT Special is super cool, that one looks straight out of the 60's.

I think this may be the first Redburst G&L I've ever had in stock. Don't quote me, but it's not a color I usually think to order. Wow - what a fool I've been!

I wish I had lit this one better when I shot it. The finish is much prettier in person. See how on the picture of the back the red is nice and clear? Both shots that show the front have a strange haziness to them that is not actually there, it's glare of some sort. I also can't believe I left fingerprints on the body in that closeup shot. For shame!!!

I've got about 15 other instruments I need to shoot and post, so I may come back to shoot this one again in a couple weeks...

And here's a gorgeous and VERY LIGHT LB-100 (just 7.1 lbs). Slap a black pickguard on this one, and it would look exactly like my own LB-100! I can make that happen at no cost, if that would push anyone over the edge.

Hey Folks, I just wanted to let you all know that these G&L basses are IMO one the very best bargains out there, especially the LB-100! I just recently received this one from Greg because I needed a lightweight, inexpensive P-bass, and couldn't be happier!

The neck is absolutely perfect, the lightweight Empress body is fantastic (especially if you have a back issue) and sort of a cross between Alder and Swamp Ash tone-wise, and the fit and finish is outstanding! IMO the quality on these are way better than anything else in the $1k-$2k price range (probably even higher). Even if you decide to upgrade the pickup and/or pickguard it's still a super high quality bargain!

I can't recommend the LB-100 enough for a REALLY GREAT P-bass, and Greg at Rocket Music is always great to deal with! I believe they have some more Empress LB-100's in stock too!
