andydye Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) My new 'cheapie' G&L tribute JB-2 arrived this morning from lookat.com in Spain ([url="http://uk.lookat.com/music/guitars-and-basses/electric-basses/gl-jb2-t-sunburst-rw"]http://uk.lookat.com...2-t-sunburst-rw[/url])... Such a bargain price for what is a £700 guitar! Despite it being packed in cardboard and being very cold from the vans and warehouses it's travelled/stayed in it was perfectly in tune and played pretty well straight out of the packing! It has an acoustic springiness that knocks every Fender I've tried into a cocked hat and a seriously solid feel due to it's 6 bolt neck attachment and extra high mass bridge! I'm really looking forward to plugging it in this evening to see how it's electrics sound but acoustically it's cock on! Here're a few shonky phone cam pics to prove it exists before I get my proper camera out: [media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157632738522669/[/media] These are seriously amazing for the money, especially at 'lookat.com' prices!!

Machines Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Nice move. My L2000 still surprises me with what it does. Compared to others UV the price range it's a clear winner. I'd have a JB2 too if it weren't for the understated appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coilte Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Congratulations !! The JB2 is a great and very under rated bass, as are most G&L basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
