Bass

Just showing off my new bass to try to keep this community alive.

This is a 2006, made in Fullerton G&L JB-2. Read Jazz Bass 2. Their "upgraded" version of a classic Fender design, as they usually do. It has a super light L-2000 body, the usual 1.5" nut width and a slim C neck. It also features G&Ls amazing saddle lock bridge, six bolt neck joint and aluminium tuners. I think this particular one was an artist model (it's not marked anywhere) hence the gorgeous quilt top and natural binding you don't really find on other models. It's strikingly beautiful in person. It's also impressively well put together from neck pocket to finish.

I always liked the J-style sound but wasn't really into the oversized and overweight offset body of the original. I was also impressed with all the G&Ls I've laid my hands upon so when this showed up from a seller nearby at a great price, I immediately bought it. It's all I could've hoped for sound and feel wise and it's a looker to boot. The only thing missing to be pure G&L would be MFD pickups, but as far as I know, they don't make J-style MFDs.

So anyway just wanted to share an amazing find I'm ecstatic to have made. Anybody here also into those?
