Show us your G&Ls!
« on: December 10, 2012, 06:19:52 PM »
Let's see some G&Ls!

Here's mine, an LB-100. It WAS the loudest bass I own but the new NR sure gives in a run for the money.

Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?
Clocks.

1983 SB-1

Slab body, fairly beat up, great player, though

This was my workhorse for a few years.  It was a better bass than my '64 Precision.

Ah, the G(&L)hetto is here!!! You know how they all will sooner or later end with a crime career!



Upon closer inspection, I detect a trace of WALish ungainlyness that appeals to me.

I've owned several G&L basses over the years.  One of my favorites was this one.

Thanks ya'll!  Doing great, though I may be letting it go soon. I have a friend who is coveting it pretty hard, and I'm low on space.  Plus I have 2 L-1000s and he turns over equipment, so I can always find something to trade.  Any advice on good Gibson's to check out?  And what is yours posted in the never let go of thread? Reminds me of those old Wilshire electric, which I've always found super attractive.
