Kudos to G&L!

So- just purchased my first G&L (SB-2T USA)... ‘E’ tuner vibrating... driving me nuts (not an issue whilst amplified). Called G&L- spent 2 mins. on the phone- new tuner on the way!!

May not be ‘much’ but I’ve spent hours working out similar issues with other companies... just wanted to express my excited gratitude to the (TB) world!!!

Yep, G&L is solid and will take care of you. Nice bass there man!

Hi John!
Beautiful, what a classic. I used to have the Tribute version, great bass.
What size neck did you get?

SB-2T!
How does the tone control sound compared to the lack of one on the regular SB-2s?

Welp- I actually ordered (according to the MF pic) the ‘non-tone’ version... but this is what they sent. I don’t have any experience with the non-tone version- so really can’t provide a good assessment. But the tone is very similar to my 3 P’s.

Not sure how many factory SB-2Ts are out there, might be 1 in 100, so I'd have to say you got lucky.
I've been looking for one to go along with my L2000 for quite a while...has to be just the right color...so it's not easy finding a Ruby Red Metallic one, for example.
Missed out on a Royal Purple Metallic one a few months back.

Glad they sent you a replacement without giving you any trouble!

I wonder what's up with those G&L tuners though. I had the same issue with a couple of the tuners on another G&L USA bass earlier this year, and I've heard similar stories about them from others before. At least it was only ~$17.99 to buy a replacement tuner directly from G&L.

I contacted them twice about a L-2000, & they sent me a new part both times, but the 2nd time the controls cover was a wildly different size than the damaged one on the bass.

My ASAT had a rattle at the machine head & the local luthier fixed it with a quick smack with a rubber mallet & a tool punch.

new tuner on the way!!

Wow, so they're sending you a new tuner when the machine head was faulty?
