I have one from those made years ago and really love it. It's cool to see G&L making them again.

Clocks.

In Europe the price is similar to a Standard USA P. This one will be better.

Sure wish they'd do something with that headstock point.

for the same money i would prefer a fender. i've played that g&l and frankly could not find a reason to want it over a fender. the contrarian in me aside.

I've never bonded with any active G&L, but the build quality of the ones I did own smoked any modern Fender for build quality.  The plekked necks are fabulous to play.  For that reason alone I'd definitely consider this one (being passive) if I was in the market for a brand spanking new P-style bass.

Louder bass!.

They tried doing without the point and they had to, well, end up with the point. Love it or hate it, a G&L is recognized a mile away because of it.

played a few and now have a pleck'ed bass.  awesome is the word.  If you like really low action,  which i particulary do not,  you gotta get pleck'd.
