Stingray for Country?

[T. Alan Smith]

Obviously, the Stingray is an awesome bass, but if you are looking at one for country playing, you owe it to yourself to also check out the G&L L2000 and ASAT which I think are more versatile and can nail THE country sound. I played alt-country and roots-rock for years and the G&L L2000 perfectly fits the bill with its choice of neck & bridge pickups, series and parallel options, and ability to go passive, active and active with treble boost. Whatever sound you are looking for, there are 18 combinations to dial it in exactly as you like. It really is a phenomenal bass and they are totally undervalued on the used market. The ASAT is just as versatile and with its Telecaster bass looks, it is the perfect country bass aesthetically, especially if you opt for one with the f-hole.

As a EBMM owner, I'll admit the above is the correct answer.

What country?

Well, it's nice to see that the "Me, too!" G&L owners and the "It ain't country!" crew were around back then to lay down some firm foundations for that crowd today....
