Dude, I've already have a G&L L2000 and I'm absolutely amazed with it. But since a couple of months ago I started wondering about getting an ASAT. What I'm not sure about, is which is the real difference between the solid body and the semi-hollow body models. Can you please give me some advice about it? thx.
@ivangarber hey ivangarber. not to intrude, but i believe i can help with this. i have played solid body ASATs, and I am the proud owner of an ASAT hollow. personally, i absolutely love the hollow version. i'd say the real difference is just about what you'd expect: the hollow is more resonant, warmer, rounder, woodier, etc., while the solid one has more of spanky, stringy (not in a bad way, i like stringy) solid tone. seeing you already have a solid L2000, my rec would be to get the hollow. :)
I´m a Fender man; I play with Fender since early eighties. But now I´m playing in my band with this G&L ASAT, other Leo Fender creation. I love this instrument. It´s easy to play, it got good tone, versatile... It´s my main instrument now.
Thanks for putting the ASAT Bass on youtube. I have one in sunburst and it's an absolute monster, I love it! Why do you think they are not more popular? I don't mind, it's great going to gigs knowing you're going to sound better than everyone else!
very nice bass! i really like the sound of the bass in this demo. and you're pretty good too! could you make another demo with G&L ASAT bass? its not very common bass - in fact it looks like this is the only video of this bass here on YT :-)
I loooove that telecaster body style.

Buff... It´s a very difficult question. I´m playing with a Stingray now in my band, and I love it. Perhaps the Stingray suits better with my band now.
But this G&L is more versatile, more different sounds from it. More light weight and his neck is narrow, in the Jazz Bass wave.
The Stingray neck´s is more in the P-Bass style.
So, both are great basses, the same quality. More different souns from the ASAT, but I prefer the Stingray now.
Good luck.
Cheers

Hi and congrats for your L2000. Well, the ASAT has a narrower neck than the L2000, in the Jazz Bass wave.
But I have no experience with the semi-hollow body ASAT, so I can´t help you.
Good luck, the ASAT is a very good bass and easy to play.
Cheers

Absolutely I agree.
Perhaps in eighties and nineties the people was looking for new shapes, contours, and G&L offers great quality and sound into conservative lines.
Other people was looking for vintage models (Jazz and Precision basses).
But G&L are GREAT instruments, the ultimate Leo Fender creation. I love these instruments.
I was playing Jazz and Precision for years, but now I´m playing in my band only with this ASAT. Superb playbility and sound, with an exclusive look.
Cheers.

Well, I changed my Gibson Money Bass in perfect mint condition for this one.
In this moment this G&L suits better than the Gibson with my band.
Cheers.

Hey Santi, you got some great gear!! But I would be curious to know what is your favorite bass amongst the other!
Great playing too!

Hello:
Well, now my favorite is this G&L because it brings a lot of suitable sounds and it´s very well made.
But I love the Rivoli, Jack Casady, Höfner, Bullet and Squier JV P-Bass also... mmm... and the Ibanez Roadastar too!
Well, each one is unique. I was playing for a decade with Jazz Bass USA; it´s great, but now my most usable bass is the G&L.
Cheers
