G & L

[patman]

Played an older G & L at rehearsal last night...had a single MM style humbucker in the center sweet spot....I think it was passive, though...

What a wonderful sounding bass!  Endless sustain, and clear and clean as a bell.

Sounds like an old L-1000.  Nice basses!   And the MFD is no MM pickup.  It's an animal all to itself.

That was either an L 1500 which has switching for active or passive along with a series parralel switch or it could have been an L 1000 which is no longer made and had one 3 position switch- parallel humbucking, single coil and single coil with bass boost but no series humbucking. The L 1500 pickup is in the music man spot while the L1000 pickup is closer to a P bass location. The L1000 was Leo's first G&L design and was phased out after introduction of the L2000.

Pup was in P-bass position...

This bass was THE ONE...

I have a special issue from BABP L1000
Same set up but no chrome (telly looking) piece on the front.
Freakin' kills in the OMG mode

In between the L1000 and L1500's production, there was the Climax model, which had the pickup in the Stingray's location.
