Yet another attempt by G&L to be just like everyone else. Volume, Pan, Bass, Midrange, Treble. Been there, done that. I'll stick to the L-2000, thank you.

I'm definitely interested in those pickups, though. Side-by-side humbuckings are gradually becoming more prominent in this industry, and I'm glad to see G&L come up with some.

I'm relatively new to G&L yet honestly the thing that hit me was the wide range of combination given by L2000/L2500 (I got both carved top of them) elctronics

I mean, then I have any other possible bass with a three band equalizer

Why G&L, doin' it all better than anyother out there, decided to follow everyone else's path?

Cheers,
Wallace

I've owned a slew of G&L's and played the L2000 for years, but now own a few US JB2's. Quite frankly IMO the JB2 is the best playing instrument G&L has ever built and is better than any bouquet J bass. I just acquired another one that I plan on replacing the pickups with Duncan Hot Stacks and an Aguilar preamp. I think this a great move by G&L and puts them to compete with basses costing much much more.

It would be interesting to hear their new pickups. Lots of hum cancelling jazz pickups just can't cop that single coil sound in spite of all the hype.

And you are right. If this had 5 strings it'd be nothing more than my MIM Fender deluxe V. (after I put SCN pickups in it) Except for a couple of things. One of those would be it's actually mde out of decent wood rather than a bunch of sticks glued together and covered with veneer. And another would be that it (presumably) comes with that nice chunky G&L neck that I love so much on my L2500s.

Both those things would be reason enough for me to consider one.
