NBD: G&L LB100 Fullerton Deluxe

Lovely bass!!! Been considering getting an LB-100 built too, as an “options order”.

I know what I want option-wise: quartersawn maple neck/fretboard and that’s it.

But I’m very undecided about the color: Emerald Blue Metallic, Spanish Copper Metallic or Graphite Metallic…. All would be with black pickguard.

After months of wondering what life would be like with a p-bass, I broke down and bought a new G&L SB100 Fullerton Deluxe in shoreline gold. My garage band plays classic rock (Grand funk railroad, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd..) and I am very happy with how this bass sounds in the mix.

Same model as the bass I played in high school jazz band/chorus/theater band. It brings back good memories. The fat neck will take some getting used to after 15+ years playing my jazz bass, but I find it pretty comfortable so far. I have big hands and feel my fingers have less room to stray. I am needing to dial out the harsh new string tone on my GK rb400 but so far I am very happy with the p-bass tone. I am especially pleased with how articulate notes above the 12th sound.

I bought from a guitar shop 4 hours away but off reverb. Very happy with the experience and shipped overnight. I only wish it was more gold colored and less silver. I think it would make the tort pop more. It looks killer under different stage lights.

I played a friends vintage fender p-bass with flats/foam this summer and intended on putting flats/foam on this one, but am enjoying the OEM rounds and don’t wanna mess with this factory set up. It’s perfect and sounds very rock and roll. Now all I need is a vintage all tube amp.

Rock on TB!

I have the same bass, with matching headstock, quarter sawn 1.5" width neck, and Empress body. It's a fantastic bass.
