My "Phoenix" G&L L2000
bassilisk:
Thanks. Honestly Dave, I'm still not sure whether it's one or two pieces. If it's two they matched the seam perfectly....
One day I'll check it with a magnifier.
Dave W:
Looking at the photos, it does seem to be one piece. Regardless, I meant the body as a whole is beautiful.
uwe:
Looks nice and seems to offer a sensible tonal combination of the attack-happy graphite neck and the warm, more sluggish in reaction, maho body.
bassilisk:
That's exactly right Uwe. Of the composites available the Moses necks are noted to be warmer. I've read posts from folks that dropped a Status neck into a Stingray
and that can easily be a clackfest if you let it (or want that). I knew a guy that had one of the early MM's with a graphite neck (I think it was supplied by Modulus at the time?) and he loved that nearly bottomless (literally) upper mids clicky tone. Sure it cut, but that isn't for me.
This combination is well suited. Dial back the snap a touch and it's chock full of focused fundamental with a G string that doesn't sound zingy.
Rob:
I really like G&L's and think this is going to be a tone monster.
