NEW BASS! YEA!!!

[Jeff Constantine]

Today I just ordered a G&L Tribute L2000. My job has discount sites to go through for various forms of electronics, household needs, vacations, insurance, etc. One of the sites is AmericanMusical.com. I'd figure I'd take a look as I just sold a '93 G&L ASAT Classis to buy a new bass (that was the wife's rule: sell 1 to buy 1). Lo & behold, I find a nice little gem in the Dent & Scratch section. It's shipping today from MN, going UPS Ground to NJ. Hopefully I'll get it by Monday. I'll have pics up once I get it.

Sweet deal. I was just scooping that. Sound clips and photo

So you sold an American G&L for a Korean one? Am I missing something here?

Not trying to bash on Tributes. I have one, in the same finish as that one, but with a maple fretboard.

An ASAT Classic is a 6 string guitar, if i'm not mistaken?

Good for you man! I recently picked up a SB-2 Tribute and absolutely love that bass. I have been debating about a L-2000 Tribute in Blueburst/Maple for a while now. I should just do it.

The ASAT is a guitar, but I never played it. I figured, why not sell it & get something I will.

No, he sold an American one for an Indonesion one. Still a cool bass. Congrats.

Natural is a great look for L2Ks. You're going to love that bass.

I'm not too familiar with the Tribute series. Does anyone know if there is that big a difference? I thought all G&Ls were made in Fullerton. I know the pickups are definitely from there. Let me get an opinion on this: this bass includes a gig bag. Now that I looked online I found a deal for $50 more that includes a hardshell. I haven't been able to locate just a hardshell to compare prices. When I gig I usually carry a gig bag for convenience. Anyone think I should reconsider? Oh, I just got confirmation: the L-2000 will be here on Monday!

Oh oh oh. Sorry, my brain only thinks in bass, unless otherwise noted. I want pictures when you get your new bass!

Guess it doesn't matter now, but it comes with a good quality gig bag.

 

[Jeff Constantine]

The bass arrived! I'm at work til 6:00pm. I should be home by 7:00pm. I'll post pics soon after I fiddle with it for a bit.

 

[Jeff Constantine]

Finally! This was the longest ride home EVER!

 

[Jeff Constantine]

Unpacking it was torture.

But well worth the wait. This bass howls, growls, purrs, thumps... everything I turn a knob or flick a switch it sounds like a completely different instrument.
