Bass Vs. Bass: Two Basses Enter NEITHER Will Exit (G&L FTW)

[Mudfuzz]

Where am I? Did I stumble back onto Talkbass or something?

Not so! if it was we would be talk'n about tones and not which one looks better and leans against a amp better

[bigchiefbc]

I just meant the talk about what's a "real" P and stuff like that. Gave me flashbacks. :shudder:

I really think he should get a Wishbass instead, honestly.

This is why I don't post on TalkBass like the rest of you doochees.

Bigchief, when I was looking at these I remembered digging the G&L you got (at least I think it was you?).
What model was that?

I'm also open to any other double humbucker Bass suggestions that can be had NEW in this price range.

[bigchiefbc]

L-2500 Tribute. I think that the standard price on them is around 800, but I got BassNW to match an internet price for 620

When I look at P basses, I think "Would Colin Greenwood play this?", and if the answer is no then it's not a real P bass.

[theavondon]

Or, since you're talking four strings, L-2K tribute, $670 on Amazon, free shipping. I love me some G&L.

[bigchiefbc]

D'OH! Yeah, I completely forgot we were talking about 4-bangers. Yeah, the L-2000 Tribby is what you want to look at. Fantastic sounding basses, beefiest fucking pickups I've ever heard.

Yeah but Colin Greenwood's a pussy and Radiohead toanz aren't really what I'm after.

That's the one! I really wish they had it in walnut like BC's but if you can't tell already, I do like black



Do you doods think it's worth $250-$300 more than the Fenders?

[excane]

Do you doods think it's worth $250-$300 more than the Fenders?

Absolutely, No question...... For FUccckkss sake YES.

G&L fucking RULEZZZ. USA or Tribute, they are SOLID as shit. My USA L-2000 was my main gigging bass waaay back for around 7 years. It's proven its tone and reliability 100x over.

[Demon666]

Buy a Ric






No seriously get which ever one has a neck you like. Or get a Squire and fill from the neck to the bridge with pickups (Bootsy style)

They both look pretty cool.

Hell to the yes. I played a bunch of the 4-500 dollar Fenders a few months ago when I was looking for my second bass. The G&L blows them out of the water in both sound and feel.

[theavondon]

Dude, yeah, G&Ls are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worth it.

[bigchiefbc]

Yeah, I could only find it at one retailer though.
Maybe they will still have it when I'm ready to buy.
