they're passive or active, you can choose that with the first switch... there's passive, active and active with high boost... this is the original G&L they're made in USA and, 2 years ago they were also handmade... I've got the Tribute version... is great... i've tried also this bass, but the only difference is the neck and the look
Bass, Treble and volume.. that's what the 3 knobs are for;) the back switch is the preamp selector,(passive, active and active with treble-boost) the middle switch is for series/parallel mode, and the front switch is the pickup selector! I've got one of these, and absolutely love it! I use that for my normal 4 string funkin' around, and my MM bongo 6h as my prog. bass! <3
Mah... Tried one when I was deciding whether to buy the G&L L2500 or a Stingray5 H/H... The Stingray was a better thing for me... It just didn't fit me... THe action above the pickups is way too high for me...
it's not exactly "tone... and then tone again in the back". it's a bass and a treble knob...

@Jakobus22 agreed... how can you tell what the sustain is like?
groovinonfunk 1 month ago
your description of: "...tone and then tone again for the back" are wrong. one is a bass cut/boost and one is a treble cut/boost

IT's not a Fender Jazz bass or a Music Man, the references. So sound is good enough.

I'm guessing this is a USA model? I don't think the Greenburst is offered in the Tribute versions.
Still would love to have one of those though.

How's about some old school R&B finger style or a deep round bass tone ala Macartney. Can this axe
cut it?

i just played one of these at my local shop for 3 and a half hours. this bass can pull of ANYTHING. literally.

The tone controls are passive, cut-only. One for treble, one for bass. This allows the tone controls to work in both active and passive mode.

Not really... The sound isn't right for me aswell...
Spector NS-2J eats the G&L's sound for lunch - my opinion of corse, I don't want to start a flame - so don't try.
popace 1 year ago
@popace agree..right for the price ...but not enough to perform a big big stage or serious recording
xotomo 1 year ago
@xotomo
That Spector? It could perform on big stage why not? It's a over 1k€ bass guitar, so it has to be made right, right? :P
It has a african mahogany body and it sounds really smooth for that. I just love it. May be my next bass aswell :) Sounds cruel.
