NBD: My first ever USA made bass

[theduke1]

Very nice
I’ve been a G&L guy since 1986
I had a 1990 SB1 a while back, but only play L2500 so down the road she went

Beautiful! Is that a 1.5” nut? It looks nice and narrow in the second pic. Love me an LB-100!

 

[MrLenny1]

Ooo nice. I like the color.

I have to agree,that is one hot looking bass you got there! Happy to see she arrived safe and sound. Play her in good health and congratulations on your NBD!

It’s a 1 5/8”, which has become my favorite nut width.

I had a G&L LB100. Loved it. Bought a Warmoth 32" scale P on a whim and it ended up displacing the G&L. I paid a whopping $1300 for the G&L. I think now, a few yrs later, they are more like $1700? Almost makes me wish I had kept it.

Yay!!!

 

[SirMjac28]

That's beautiful congrats.

The only downside to a LB-100 is that you might not be able to put it down. I've hardly touched my other bass since I've had mine.

+1. Excellent choice...P-bass on steroids. I love mine.

Enjoy!

great choice for a USA made bass

enjoy it

Looks like you made the right choice.
I bought mine a year ago September and it pretty much ruined me for other basses.

My US LB-100 ruined me for other basses too! And I already had some rad basses!

Just got this via FedEx so I’m letting it sit for a while to warm up before I open it. This will be my first ever US made bass.

OK, but what is it?

Oh…I see, it's a G&L! Congratulations! I started out on a US Jazz Plus and now play a US StingRay and a DE Warwick, but I've never even touched a G&L, yet.

Welcome to the club! I'm not being sarcastic, this is now my go-to for Best Bass For Metal. It's got the tone already without any pedals or fancy eq-ing.

Dude I was so lucky to find this! I had wanted one just like this for a while. I guess because of marketing algorithms different stuff prioritizes to pop up on my phone or home laptop. I'm usually noodling on my phone, but one day I had my laptop up and on a whim looked up Reverb.com and this came up first...it had been posted THAT DAY. I pounced on it like a cat on a wounded field mouse.
