    Apologies if this basic question is somewhere else, but I can’t find it. I’ve recently put some DR Legends on my Mustang. I really like them, but I know they’re long (34” ball to taper), which is fine on the Mustang with through body stringing, but can I put them on my Fallout? Ie will a flatwound be ok if I wind past the end of the taper onto the tuner (as I think I’d need to do with the E string at least). I assume not and don’t want to trash a string unnecessarily. A bit annoying that DRs short scale isn’t actually short scale….

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m thinking of getting a short scale made for me by a local luthier and just reflecting on what body shape I might go for…. Loving the Vintera II Mustang I bought recently, but it’s a little bit neck heavy… also love my Fallout but it too has a bit of that and would like the bridge a little bit further back on the body… and I’m very fond of my L2000…. So I need some kind of hybrid of all of them! So yeah, what IS the perfect short scale bass body shape? 😃

    I’ve not tried a Lionel or a short scale Stingray, but with short scale versions of originally long scale basses like those, is the body actually smaller than original? Like, is it actually just scaled down, and if so, by how much?

    I’ve just noticed that M2500 has through body stringing. Didn’t know G&L had a bridge that did that. Interesting….

    Nice one!

    Down to £750. Hmmm. 🤔

    Red isn’t for me, but if anyone’s interested, there’s a bargain-priced CLF L1000 on eBay just now….. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186798811473?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=oCTjfIILT5K&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=TD0J1DOyQvS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    I have 3 G&Ls (2 USA and 1 Tribute, all great) but have been casually looking for a lightweight CLF L1000 for a while….
  9. dmckee
    Nice. I assume you’re in the US. No G&Ls to be found in the UK. ☹️

    PMd.

    How’s the balance? (I’ve been looking at Mustangs for a while now and have been put off any I’ve tried because of neck dive).

    Both the Lakland Hollowbody basses (long and short scale) have rounded edges and are pretty comfortable. Also, the latest Reverend Fatfish 32 has a bit of a contour.

    Argh, thanks. I’ve got a while to wait then! Nice bass btw. Just as well it’s not a 4…..
  14. dmckee
    How long did it take your new neck to come btw? My L2000 truss rod is also broken and am waiting on them to send a new neck….
  15. dmckee
    Has anyone tried this bass? https://reverendguitars.com/basses/basshouser-fatfish-32/

    Conversely, I moved to thicker plectrums a few years ago, as I found I got a slightly mellower tone from them, which I preferred.
  17. dmckee
    Cheers for that! Always wondered.

    Daft question, but when I see ‘Recent Status Updates’ down the right on the home page, where are folk posting those Status Updates in the first place??
  19. dmckee
    This is a cool bass, but given they’re selling brand new for £879, maybe you’d consider reviewing your asking price?
  20. dmckee
    @kjfitzy - @admiralchew pointed this one out to me, on Reverb. https://reverb.com/p/g-l-clf-research-l-1000, if you’re still looking. (Looks lovely but I’m holding out for a lightweight one).

    So, I currently own 2 USA G&Ls - an L-2000 and a Fallout, both of which I bought new. Earlier this year, briefly, I also owned an LB-100. I bought it mail order from GuitarGuitar but didn’t take to it, so returned it a day or 2 later. G&L owners will know that every USA bass comes with a black envelope containing the spec sheet and a certificate. Unbelievably (I’m such an idiot), when I took the LB-100 back to my local GuitarGuitar to get a refund, I put the black envelope for the Fallout into the case instead of the one for the LB-100 😱, a cockup I only realised several weeks later. I did contact GG to ask if they’d tell me who bought the LB-100 but I got no response to that, oither than an offer to get me a new certificate (which hasn’t happened). Anyway, just on the off chance that someone in this community bought that LB-100 (or you know the person who did) - I have your black envelope and you have mine!!

    Quiet round here..... anyone seen or heard of any G&Ls making their way to the UK? Still hankering for a lightweight CLF L1000.
  23. dmckee
    I actually prefer the modern G&L headstock to the old one that you now get on the CLF models. 🤷‍♂️
  24. dmckee
    Works perfectly, the only essential pedal I have really. Only selling as I bought a V2 on a whim. In Edinburgh but can post.
  25. dmckee
    Thanks mate. Looking at this in comparison to a JMJ but think I’d prefer its thicker P bass sized neck. GLWS tho. Love that stripped look.
