Members t3ch Posted March 7, 2008 Members Share Posted March 7, 2008 So is it a tribute or a full fat G&L? either way, nice! I thought SB-2's were just SB-2's and didn't have a tribute line... edit -- nm, just checked out the G&L site and I am just stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vinny D Posted March 7, 2008 Members Share Posted March 7, 2008 I like the G&L SB-2's just how they are with just the two volume controls and no tone control. These basses have such an aggressive tone to them I don't see the need for a tone control, a little blending of both pickups gives you a lot of tone options as is.

Members jasper383 Posted March 7, 2008 Members Share Posted March 7, 2008 G&L Tributes are awesome. Am I the only one who thinks G&L is making a big marketing mistake by putting the exact same pickups/electronics/bridge in their $400 basses as their $1200 basses?

I dont think it is a mistake at all. They are so good more and more people buy them, and if they want more finish options, or perhaps a fretless, or have enough money, then they get the US models.

At least with the Tributes you don't have to worry about needing to upgrade the pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a Trib S500, and its awesome. For ~$500, fully playable, semi-pro instrument. I also own a US SB-2, and it pwns all other basses. You don't need no dang tone control, just man up and learn to use all the tonal options presented to you by 12" of string between the bridge and neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing I love messing with, just moving where I pluck the string. I usually favour plucking right back beside the bridge but I've been experimenting with plucking right above the end of the fingerboard, or even up at the 14th or 15th frets.
