My new Blueburst

Post by atomic_punk »

Well, since I missed out on the Anniversary Basses, and have been jonesing for a 5 with more balls and bottom end than my Jazz bass has, I took the plunge into G&L land....and it's a Blueburst! Image 5-string with a nice slim neck.

Man, I'm a real sucker for a blue burst with binding. When it comes popping and slapping, G & L rules the roost! Nice piece!

I had one of those when I was experimenting with 5 strings and they are one of the nicest fivers out there for the price, huge sound and low end. Mine was American made and was good quality, I sold it when I decided to start collecting ricks.

Chris, your reviews of the G&L were one of the reasons I started even looking at them. LOVE that ASAT body style!

Great looking bass Steve!

If she sounds as good as she looks, you are going to hurt people!
I'm just happy to be here.

You shouldn't be disappointed!

Remember - the volume knob & bass cut knobs are your friends. Those pickups are H-O-T!!!

I'll definitely keep that in mind, Chris! And after playing the Jazz 5, it will be nice to have to CUT bass instead of tweaking everything I use to PRODUCE low end!
