Warm greetings from Japan. Thank you very much for visiting our listing.
This listing is for a G&L SB-2 electric bass guitar made in the USA, dating from the 1980s to early 1990s based on the serial number. The instrument showcases a classic 3 Tone Sunburst Alder body paired with a Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard. The neck features a 3-bolt detachable joint and 21 frets. The bass employs a PJ pickup configuration with a front Precision-style pickup and a rear Jazz-style pickup, each controlled independently by their own volume knob with no tone control – a clean and straightforward setup that highlights the distinct character and blend of the pickups.
Other details include an exchange of the pots (volume controls), approximately 70% fret life remaining, string height at the 12th fret about 2.0mm on the 1st string side and 2.5mm on the 4th string side, and usage of 45-105 gauge strings. The bass weighs 4.19kg.
The finish shows general wear with visible scratches and marks typical of long-term use, contributing to a vintage appearance that enhances the classic 3 Tone Sunburst aesthetic. This is not a pristine condition instrument but offers a well-loved vibe attractive to players and collectors who appreciate an aged look and feel.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOUND ON THE WEB USING AI: The G&L SB-2 model is well-regarded for its robust tone balanced by the unique two-volume control arrangement without tone shaping, directly blending the Precision and Jazz pickups. This configuration allows for versatile sound shaping through pickup blending alone, appealing to bassists looking for straightforward, powerful tone control. The 3-bolt neck construction is also significant for ease of maintenance and neck adjustments compared to traditional four-bolt setups.
