Pretty sure my bass is coming from the continents so will be very surprised if it's here before the New Year. will update with my experiences when it gets here.

What have you gone for? Ive spotted an ex_demo G&L LB100 for £383 to go along with my L2000 in blueburst. Love G&Ls -  MUST RESIST!!!

Ive 6 basses and each has a permenant strap attached, 4 with Schallers and 2 with Fenders which you squeeze to attach and remove and I find to be the most solid.

This guy sets up loads of guitars and puts the videos up on Youtube - really informative.

Swap the strings over bass to bass and if the tones remain the same, thats strings out of the equasion.

Anyone own both a G&L L2500 and a 5 string Dimension or A/B'd them together to see the similarities/differences?

Always thought this was Fenders take on one of Leos best bass designs.

Very attractive. The only model bass needed for gigging. Tone king.

We played all music styles for all types of people. With a Swiss Army knife doing all types of jobs, we decided that instead of calling ourselves Swiss Army, we would plump for Swiss Navy. We wished sometime later we hadnt!!!!!!

 

Just google it!!!! Haha.

Incase you are too hesitant to search!!!

My two basses with the best, cutting tones are an L2000 and a M/M PASSIVE USA SUB. This seems to have a similar pickup placement to the SUB and being passive, I imagine produces a similar tone with a slimmer neck. Prefered my passive USA SUB to the active SUB USA which I moved on.

PM sent.

Paddy.

We have same setup  as you - guitarist and vocalist/guitarist, drummer and bass. G and V/G go thru pa (micing their combos), drummer sometimes goes thru too if playing a larger room but I just play thru my combo with ext cab behind me Eden Metro and everyone says we sound fine - old school but fine.

£120 

So I see. What a bargain!!!

How much?!!!

I owned an active USA Sub and a passive USA SUB version at the same time. Now only own the passive version and use it for every gig. Really growly without being over-harsh. Love it.

Welcome from the Mablethorpe area of our green and pleasant county. Im heading for 60 and loving being part of the driving force in our little band. You're merely a spring chicken at your age. If you ever see Revelry  advertised as playing in our county town, come along and say hi!!!

Im a 90% thumb player, 10% pick player depending what is required for the song. Sometimes even use the joint area of the thumb an inch back from the usual plucking point to a deeper, more aggresive punchy sound. I vary plucking position on the strings too. Always worked for me. Think I may be in a small minority though.

Dont remember whether the L2000 eq controls are boost/cut from the middle position of the pots or just boost only, but I always run the bass eq at 70% and slowly add the treble from fully rolled off until the desired tone is dialed in - usually only about 10 to 20%.

Go G&L used Tribute L2000. Different enough and sounds/plays awesome for a budget bass.

Or for Japenese with a bigger budget, FGN basses.

I play in a similar band and at similar venues. Neither myself nor the drummer go through our pa. Both our guitarists mic up their combos and go through pa together with vocals. We use a Yamaha powered mixer, tthree 15" tops and 2 monitors, one top on the floor and  turned towards the crowd centre stage for the mixer to sit on. Does a fine job and no need for anything more.

Were Encores made in Korea?

Falcon is currently a JHS brand for entry level acoustic guitars and ukuleles. I know, that’s not much help really.

Yes I found that but together with the Gretsch Falcon guitar, thats all I came up with.
