Thanks. The fret work is good. No fret sprout. The basses came setup quite well. Of course it pays to have a thorough setup after you get any bass. They are quickly becoming my go to basses.

Cool, thanks. What is the neck profile like? Is it standard p bass shape/size?
What do you people think about the general construction quality?
Has anyone come across one of these yet? There’s only a couple demos on YouTube and I haven’t seen any print reviews. I commented on this thread a while back stating I wasn’t a P bass fan, but I am today and would like some feedback from my TB friends if you have any.
I have a pair of them. I put an EMG Geezer in the sunburst one. They are well constructed and sound great.
I still have my LB-100 tribute! Best p-style bass for the price that I've ever tried! I think it is the G&L locking bridge that really does it for me, but the tone and quality of construction is very good and woods used on my bass look very nice. It really satisfied my limited desire to add a p-bass to my arsenal, without spending a ton of money. I can't imagine every really needing to upgrade from it.
Awesome view!I have a pair of them. I put an EMG Geezer in the sunburst one. They are well constructed and sound great.
The Tributes are excellent. Every one I've tried, including their guitars has been really impressive. Besides the obvious cost reduction in being made overseas, there might be a few little corners cut here & there, but not enough for me to notice. I bought an '03, Korean-built L-2000 a few months ago, & it has become my #1. $285.00!
Hi there, many thanks for sharing your experiences. What is your impression on the neck profile, is it thin or fat, when compared to the American Fender P basses?
Do the ones with rosewood fretboards have a vintage tint to the neck wood and the maple fretboard have more of a clear satin on the neck wood?
Your observations are correct. The "rosewood" (really Brazilian Cherry) models have a vintage tint and the natural + maple models are a clear finish. Both finishes are high gloss though and not satin.
Picked this beauty up last week. Great P bass right out of the box. Put some LaBella black tapewounds on. I have a Geezer pickup but not sure if I'm going to swap it out.
I've thought about getting one of the white models. Yours looks great!
I put a Geezer pup in one of mine. I prefer it.
Threw the Geezer pup in. FANTASTIC! I think it's my favorite Precision pickup.
And check out the grain on this tribute neck. Beautiful with the Brazilian cherry fret board.
Just discovered there is a tribute lb100
Can find very little info on it. Sounds like you folks are enjoying yours
