The Reverend Club (Part 5)

Not open for further replies.
The G&L's I still play are:
a) ooold
b) passive
to wit: a couple of L1000's; an old SB2JJ, and old SB2 PJ; and an old JB2JJ with Nords in it.

The Rev is my fave PJ.

Yeah, I had an 84 L-1000 fretless. I stupidly sold it after I heard a recording of my intonation when I was playing it regularily! Plus, it weighed a ton. I still have my ASAT, gorgeous tobacco sunburst. Just does nothing for me when I play it.
 
After years of using a 1981 L2000e, a couple of L2500's, and a 2006 L2000, I've concluded that the active G&L's just aren't me...in fact, most active things aren't me.

Exceptions: Lakland 5501 with Nord DC5's and an LH3 preamp-which is very natural sounding to me...and two Valenti's...one with Big Singles and a Nord pre, and a PJ with a Nord NP5 and Fat stack Single with a Nord pre. To me, the Nord pre is as neutral as they come...the Alleva LM5 being a little better yet. But, couldn't keep that one.
 
whatcha got? no pics, no fish. ;-)

#50 will be yours

Nice one, kai!

I'm digging the color. if I ever found a four-banger in that color and didn't buy it my wife would kill me. It's her favorite.

EricF, you'll dig the DB750 w/a fish. The hot single coil pickups through that head will blow your mind.
 
That is one nice color on the 5L...I'd be willing to change my wardrobe to accommodate that. Well at least change the shirts I usually play in. I was very impressed by the earlier photo of Bartman with matching shirt and bass.

Well...at least change my shirts.

A worthy aspiration for us all.

I'm still looking for a shirt to match this Rev:

I think it's going to take a while to find one. :p
