G&L Tribute L2000 Opinions

Yeah, for sure. You can dial it down. The tone I preferred was open. I think that when you roll the tone back on any bass it can sound OK, but it was not the L2K's strength. I felt it was hard to control the "clank" factor. Admittedly, I'm not the be all end all of technique or tone mind you.

I know what you are talking about. One of the things TBers have discussed a lot is that a secret of the L2000s is dialing back the tone controls just a bit. Of course I love the wide open thing too! And one way to control that is with strings that do it for you. I can say it took me a while trying various strings until I found some I liked. The factory strings were definitely not the ones.

I have an ASAT with a thick neck and i love it.

I have heard that although electronics arkebasically the same for tributes and non-tributes there is something lacking between the 2. Is it worth holding out for an L2K?

happy to be shot down in a flame of glory as i have never had a tribute, but i pulled the trigger and went straight to the horses mouth and never regretted it.

Neck width and thickness is really a question of usage. You can get use to different necks.

If you like it enough to make it your main bass, neck issues will eventually disappear if you play it enough. That's been my experience.
