G&L Placentia Bass....

[FFEJY]

The Tributes are probably gonna end up in the $1000 range.

Not sure what Placentia is supposed to mean, but I like that bass.
As far as I know G&L doesn't make a single bad instrument !!

I like the other G&L bridge... this is a no go for me, if I want a standard bridge I'll keep my player jazz.

What is the deal with the name? It’s…strange.

Lots of folks want a "birth year" bass - this is kinda going that direction.

Fullerton boarders are LITERALLY all over the map, never really know if your in fullerton or Placentia or Brea or Anaheim

I am guessing G&L has a couple shops (Factories) in placentia that boarder on fullerton
G&L doesn't have one Factory they have bunch of small comercial buildings that are close

 

[Killing Floor]

Are they calling the launch preview event Placentia Previa?

 

[Durham52]

I had a placentia before I was born....

You win the day. I so though of the same thing when I read the OP's post, man you were quick. Hats off.

Sorry but I keep making this link in my head. Does the name have anything to do with Biggus Dickus and his wife Incontinentia Buttocks by any chance?

Lightning crashes, a young bassist cries
Her Placentia falls to the floor

The G&L shop is located a stones throw from Placentia. S.Placentia Avenue is the border between Fullerton and Placentia. Incidentally, G&L is located on Fender Avenue.

Saw these on the GC and MF sites. No info and about 50 frog skins less than a baseline Tribute.

i vote gross

 

[kesslari]

It's an unfortunate name.

 

[Holdsg]

the powers that be should have known the name would become an object of ridicule.

 

[Skillet]

Is it just me or does the neck plate look a tad crooked?

 

[Dincrest]

More placenta tomfoolery.





And is 2022 the year of terrible names? Placenta bass (I refuse to call it "Placentia") is bad, the Washington Commanders is bad (seriously, why didn't they listen to their fans and go with Red Wolves?)

 

[80jazz]

Zoom in on the pickups. Are these MFDs with adjustable pole pieces?

That's a good question. I am unsure.

 

[Gizmot]

Yeah - - the name Placentia is more than a bit funky and although it's in very wealthy Orange County California, it doesn't convey a perception of quality. It also isn't congruent with G&L's product nomenclature (at least for basses).

 

[gln1955]

Why have just a Placentia when you can have this baby?

Actually being in Orange county they farmed Oranges . Placentia was a farming town, fullerton was less so .
When they went to make boarders some were close to a fullerton and Placentia boarder some would have preferred to be in fullerton .
Hence why the boarders are kinda goofy

Not sure how true that is , its how I understand it.
