LB-100 vs SB-1

[tim1002]

I'm not really an expert on G&Ls but i played a LB-100 recently and the neck felt sooo good. I'm considering getting that but I've never heard much about these basses.

From the GuitarsByLeo website, they both had similar production times so I was wondering what made these basses unique without robbing each other out of potential customers?

thanks!

hi the LB 100 HAS A PICK UP THAT IS LIKE A VINTAGE P BASS AND THE SB 1 HAS A MAGNETIC FEILD DESIGN PICKUP, LEO FENDERS BEST, IMO, BOTH GREAT BASSES, YOU CANT GO WRONG EITHER WAY. PS I HAVE BOTH BASSES, SO IM NOT GUESING HERE. CHEERS!!

Did it sound good? Did it "speak" to you? Buy it if it did. A neck that feels really good in your hand is a bass you should buy IMO.

As was said the LB-100 had an alnico and a different body shape, more like a P bass than the SB-1 which is narrower and had an MFD.

LB 100 = Vintage P
SB-1 = Modern P

Both discontinued. Both kick-butt basses. I've got an early 80s SB-1 but would love a maple board LB 100 one of these days.
