G&L SB-2

I've played them and I think they are decent sounding basses. Remember, you can always use your amp's tone knob.

 

I have a SB-2, it's an excellent bass! I have not found a need for a tone control, between the amp and the two volume controls I have enough variation for my needs.

But, if you want to mod it to have a tone control, some of the guys over at the Dudepi have performed that mod. They can direct you on the "how to"...

 

New or used?

 

I don't see any new/used on their sites, but they are bigger G&L dealers. They might have one in stock or on the way...

I saw a used one about a week ago on another web site, but it's gone now. I'll keep lookin'.

 

I got lucky a few years ago, found it used on some web site from the south... $400. They generally go used on Ebay for $700 range..

 

Here is a new one, Link

A Tribute SB. Link

 

Hell yeah!!!!

 

I never touched a Tribute, but from what I understand the only real differences are; the neck is not bi-cut, the electronics are not all American made (pups are US, the SB-2 does not have a preamp like the L2000, so no difference), and the pots are not top notch (who cares, easily replaced if they start to suck).

I play G&L's....one of my SB-2's has the tone control mod done to it.

I still run the tone knob wide open anyway. LOL
