I normally prefer rosewood boards but with white its maple. I'd love to own one just like this someday [attachment=47615:NewMusic...hite0209.jpg] I dont think it would look so good on the HS though with the black pickup covers I think the rosewood boards look great with sunburst,especially with a matching headstock. have you already discounted tobacco burst and honeyburst? out of your two options I'd have the 3TS/rosewood/tort/non matching. sorry never been a fan of white/rosewood

good for you! purple/maple - I guess your name was on it -
yes I did get it from Si in June of last year. I had an Asat off him before this L2K. he's a man who definetely knows his G&Ls re the avatar,G&L FTW! -
yes USA model with CLF serial # you cant get the J neck option on Tributes either
-
still looking for some sort of deal against a SR5 or L-2500. will consider other 5 strings
-
super price for this tone monster of a bass! -
vol/vol the idea behind the SB-2 layout is to use the single coil at the bridge as a sort of tone control to colour the split P
-
Stingray 5 has a great low B,real comfy neck profile and feel,is warm fat and punchy sounding all at the same time and blends in with everything. Leave the switch on the parallel setting,add a little bit of bass boost and forget about the controls after that. imo an easy bass to love for its simplicity and for doing what it does so well without fuss.

G&L L-1500. harsh and right in your face. much more so then the L-2000/Asats.

nice choice!

Sterling by MusicMan Black Ray34 with Nordy for sale £380

nice bass! - the first pic is the best I've seen so far of one of these - the build quality looks very good. -
[quote name='dougal' post='791361' date='Mar 30 2010, 11:50 PM']Am I the only one that thinks they look better in a 5 or 6 than a 4? I sold my 5. I can't remember why: all this has made me rather nostalgic. They're great basses, with the afore-mentioned caveat that they'll get a chip on the headstock. I'm still waiting for the ad in the for sale section that says "for sale, bongo, unique, no chip on headstock". Gone the way of the warrior...: [/quote] I'm pretty sure I have your Bongo 5 these days. It came to me in a trade deal with bigwan for a 4HH also sapphire black with moonstone PG.

For trade : L2K amber/honey alder body with flame maple top and (rarer for L-2000) #8 jazz profile neck (1.5" nut). weighs 9lb, great player,comes with G&L hard case (bit scuffed) only issue is a wear patch on the back of the neck up around the 3rd fret I've recently had another rethink on my gear and decided to try and stick with 5 strings only. Looking to do a deal for a fretted SR5 or L-2500. I prefer rosewood boards and will add cash for the right bass edit: will consider other five strings though not so keen on 5 strings with 19mm spacing I'm not really interested in a sale at this point can get more pics if of genuine interest

I've had 3 Bongos (got a 5HH and used to own a 4HS and a 4HH). I find them very inspiring to play with a great range of (modern) tones but I still, and will always prefer my Stingray 5. It has a lovely growl and warmth to the sound,sadly lacking in the Bongo which sounds hi-fi by comparison. I do a fair bit of recording with my Bongo and its excellent for that, but the very few times I gigged one weren't exactly "plug in and play" if I'm honest.Boomy,overpowering,endless fiddling with pan and EQ - all just a bit too much really So it stays at home.

I've not seen more than a couple of JB-2s on basschat. I cant recall any Tributes on here of late but there was a silver flake USA one on sale a couple of months back. belonged to Mansfield,maybe best giving him a PM? Theres a number of JB2 players on talkbass. do a search there and you'll probably get the info you need fwiw I have a L-2000 (and recently sold a SB-2) with the same neck as the JB-2. I find them really playable,very much like a jazz bass or MusicMan Sterling. The Tribute JB-2 has the same neck profile as far as I know. I'm not familiar with the JB-2 though I wanted one for a long time - I think the alnico pickups would make a nice change from the MFDs on all their other basses. Looking at the website it says that both Tribute finish options use swamp ash for the body. any USA G&Ls I've owned and were ash tended to be quite heavy but I'm not sure if thats the same with the offshore ones. I used to own a Korean made ash body L-2000 which was nice and light and after a set up,played every bit as good as a USA one imo a real nice alternative to a Fender Jazz

rare and discontinued colour looks great!

thanks for that. I still cant afford it but good to know they're not as expensive as I previously thought.

Ernie Ball Musicman (4) 3 EQ - Black/Black/Rosewood

lovely! I like Stingrays with rosewood fingerboards - from my experience the maple boards with the wax/oil finish dirty up too easy and look terrible after a while. -
WILL SELL ON EBAY! Music Man Stingray 5 H 3eq w/ Matching Headstock

PM'd -
what a fantastic bass! I've wanted one of these since they first came out but the price new will be way beyond my means. I did own a '94 pinkburst Albert Lee guitar for a number of years (only let it go to get a Steve Morse Y2D)-and I always loved the looks of the guitar. same story with the bass. Not looking for the price you paid, but was it less than your 25th? When both models were first announced a couple of shops here were showing the same rrp for both the 25th and the Big AL. I couldnt understand that at the time as the AL wasnt a limited model and it didnt have a fancy maple top. I'm guessing the price of the Big AL is maybe somewhere between a Stingray 5 and the 25th?

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='774019' date='Mar 14 2010, 12:20 AM']I wouldn't expect to get a 100% P or SR tone from a G&L2000 but if im reading this right, as long as i dont expect to nail either tones the G&L might be better for me as a 1 bass does it all.[/quote] correct! the MFD pickups do have their own sound and the tri-tone circuit is a bit quirky (no mids/no pan control/bass and treble cut only) they bridge the gap between fenders and musicman imo and they are hard to beat for versatility
-
when you've got drums,keys and a couple of guitars going, from my experiences a musicman sometimes got a bit buried/lost in the mix and the G&L didnt - that was at the same gig or rehearsal using both basses. G&L basses have a big sound!
-
John,you are more accurate with the weight.I made it a tad under 9lbs. **And now on hold pending a fellow Ayrshire Basschatter viewing it this weekend** -
[quote name='Ou7shined' post='763815' date='Mar 4 2010, 11:56 AM']I had the privilege of trying this exquisite bass out at the last Moffat bash. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the neck was a tad thinner than a standard Jazz neck - think Ibanez Soundgear. It felt very delicate in my big hands (this is from a guy now used to P and MM width necks) and had that fastness I like from this sized neck - it was begging for dusty end action. I couldn't hear the sound characteristics of the bass too well as there were a few others guys plonking basses near by too but what little I did hear clearly had bite. If I was in the market for one of these, I wouldn't hesitate. Me and the sb-2 at Moffat [/quote] thanks and you're right - it does have a slightly slimmer profile jazz neck. its G&L's #8 neck described as a "C" shape with 1.5 nut and 12" radius. the same neck on my L2K is a little chunkier feeling [quote name='pieter' post='763970' date='Mar 4 2010, 02:23 PM']Good question, many G&L's are (great sounding) boat anchors - hope this one is an exeption?[/quote] I've owned a fair few G&Ls and from my experience its only the ash ones that have been heavy. This SB-2,my old Asat bass and 2x L-2000s have all been alder bodies and fairly lightweight. I dont have a set of scales here to weigh it but I'm going to my parents' place this evening so I'll stick it on the scales there.
