Old Horse Murphy Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Lovely and just look at the size of those pickups!! I've never played a Tele-shaped bass before. Good on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOwens Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 As Billy Dangledagger once said: "Beware the green eyed monster." I shall heed that advice, as said monster is currently stood over my shoulder whispering "You'd look better than anyone else with one of those round your neck." He obviously hasn't seen my bank statements!! Great purchase!! DaN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) Thats beautiful!! One of the few pics recently thats giving me GAS I've always liked the ASATs, must be my softspot for the Telecaster asthetics How do both your ASATs sound, what kinda tones can you get from them? What is the balance like also, as the bodies are quite small!? Si Edited August 10, 2007 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Sibob, The two sound further apart acoustically than they do plugged in, the MFD pickups and the electronics are the same on both Lots of different tones from them both,and its fairly easy with a couple of switch throws to jump from one usable tone to another. In a band setting they cut through much better than my musicman and sound bigger too. I prefer the sound of these basses and the L2000s to any other I've heard. They dont balance the greatest but if you play with the neck angled up a bit when standing then its fine. I just love the look,vibe,tone and aura of these basses.imo they are pretty special DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Where did you manage to get yours from in the UK? And what kinda prices do they go for? Would you say that the tones are retro/modern, or are they pretty versatile? Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddys nose Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Lovely Basses Keir, if there anything better than one Asat its two Asats your not selling the Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 Sibob,the gold one I got from geddy's nose back in March of this year for £550 and with the cash difference against my Bongo the hollowbody worked out the same.I dont ever see them for sale with retailers here,maybe someone else here knows who sells them in the UK. I do keep an eye on ebay and a company called Nitrotone Music in the states,who do the odd G&L blowout deal.Buffalo bros are another US retailer who move quite a few G&Ls.I got my Legacy 6 stringer from them. tonewise maybe another ASAT or L2K/L2500 owner can chime in and describe them better.to me they're G&L and just different from most out there. big and bold and most definetely versatile I'd say and Si,I've no plans to move on the gold one.I've grown very very fond of this bass since I got it from you.It earns its keep. cheers DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 DJ, that's gorgeous! I've hung my nose over a couple of G&L tributes in the last few months, but bought my Hofner & Geddy Lee instead for the time being The one I played in Hull was excellent. Tempting... Rich.

paul, the Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I can see G&Ls becoming BCs new BKs. Don't Lakland make something similar? There's always one on ebay. I wonder how they compare.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
