New from g&L?

[AndyTravis]

[dub_junkie]

Saw this earlier on a G&L group. Looks sweet, sure it will sound the same though there’s no coil switching on the MFD pickups? 
love the colour too but not so keen on the painted neck on this one

[jd56hawk]

This is a custom, but they're supposed to start making these soon.

I thought the coming-sooner-or-later MFD Jazzes were to be newly-designed single-coil pickups, not just a pair of L-2000 humbuckers?

[LeftyJ]

That's lovely! But it looks like it just has VVT controls? That would be a shame, the power behind the versatility of the L2k are the switching options and that passive 2-band EQ.

If that's been made for who I think it was made for, a guy on TB and bassesbyleo called bdgotoh, he's not short of opportunities for appreciating the L2k – huuuuge collection of G&Ls.

Too shiny for me. I have shiny. Now I need knackered.

 

Need is not necessarily being used for it's true meaning here.

That's what I had thought too. Either way, that Jazz looks rather tasty!

I shall check with the man to see if it is for him but I think he's more into Lulls these days. We shall see!

Yes, that sounds right...single-coil MFDs like the ones in the SB-2s?

They've made some more powerful single coils in a jazz size housing I believe 

[LukeFRC]

I don’t really have a GAS list anymore but would quite like to try a El toro, that was kinda Leo revisiting the jazz bass right? 
( @gareth- how many el toro’s do you have?!)

[Lfalex v1.1]

Nice,  but I'd go for either  an SB-2 derivative with the double-coil unit at the bridge (with front/rear/parallel switching) or a Jazz with 2x SB-2 style single coils..

Hey Tony, 

It is true!  I also have two other custom orders being worked on - JB with alnico P pickups in Matador locations, and another JB with MFD P pickups in Matador locations.  I really love the feel and balance of the JB and I have plenty of wonderful L-2000s.

I did that years ago by modding an SB-1 and could never get the two pickups to sound right together, unfortunately.  Doesn't mean it couldn't be done, but it was harder than I expected.  Those are pickup selector and series/parallel switches between the pots.  

 

SB-2 with El Toro humbucker at the bridge sounds good, though.

If these are customs I am going to be VERY disappointed if there is not metal flake action. 

[bdgotoh]

Metallic but not metal flake, sorry!  Next two are Candy Apple Red and Pharaoh Gold.

I am sad but not despondent. Shiny is halfway there.

[Munurmunuh]

Another bass where a pair of L-2000 MFD humbuckers wouldn't be expected

 

 

The two upper switches do the parallel / single / OMG for the neck and parallel / single / series for the bridge

 

two of the three lower switches are on/offs, the third is yet to find a use

I glanced at the picture and saw racing stripes for a moment. That was exciting.
