Love the white pickup covers and knobs. That's gorgeous.

That is righteous. Love it. How do you like the Delanos? I've considered them for my Sandberg TT-5, but the bass has string-to-string balance issues so I prefer raised poles for the middle strings.

I love them. They are like having a Passive Bass with an Active Output. Kinda like Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders, but with way more detail and note clarity. I also have them in my two 78 Jazz Basses. The Gold one has a 9.5 Radius and the Natural one has a 7.25. The outer mags on the Delano’s are flush with the covers, where the middle mags are bumped up, ever so slightly. I tried to take a close up, so you can see how they are staggered.

Awesome! Thanks so much for that closeup of the Delano. From web photos it looks like they have flush poles. And I love that paisley guard on the gold J. Would work nicely in my Grateful Dead cover band.
Can’t remember if I shared this. G&L JB2 Tribute from my wife. I had some custom wound hum canceling pickups and new pots installed. HipShot Ultralite tuners as well. Great bass.
Nice! You always went above and beyond matching straps to your basses!
Nice, looks like Jodi Head straps also, sweet!

Dang your JB-5 is hot! I like the stock pu's in the 2017 I just got recently...so far....but ya never know--you got me thinkin'. Mine has a series push/pull and I use that a ton. My favorite Jazz--4 or 5 string--I've ever owned.
Here my 2005 L2000 black with maple body trim. Sold it about 8 years ago and just managed to get it back a year ago. I think I should hold on to it this time!
A couple formerly loved JB-2's. Got this 2001 (1st year for the JB-2 model. It was apparently an employee-built bass. It had a matching Cherryburst headstock and b/e maple neck. TEvidently the pickups were either swapped out for what look to me like SD singles that are too short to fill their routs.
This 2001 was featured at the 2002 winter NAMM. You can see it on the G&L NAMM display.
This is maybe the nicest JB-2 I ever had. Bought brand new for $800 otd. This would be the one I most regret selling.

Meet Gutterball, my all time favorite bass...bound, quartersawn jazz width neck, K Mod, and blendable pickups mod.
In lucious silver swirl. This is the one I'll be buried with.
