if you want to get more low end out of the 5 string jazz then try seymour duncan pickups ... and I have an aftermarket bridge that would improve the jazz bass as well ...

congrats on the new bass ... it is a looker ...

Where do you get the bound ones?? Is it a special order thing? The only ones I ever see dont have binding.

You can go nuts with special order options on G&Ls. Colors, neck radius, neck finish, headstock colors, bound necks, bound bodies, etc....

They did just discontinue the 3 bolt micro tilt neck though (never offered on the L2Ks). I'm glad I got one of the last ones.

Oh ****! I was hoping this would have that option...That's a cool feature.
Here's the full-length pic. The binding is standard on this one, anyway.

you could use that as your main bass all night long ...

I'm thinking the same thing, Jeff.

Yeah, the 3 bolt micro tilt feature is nice, but I don't think those 6 bolts are anything to sneeze at either.

....and it turns out that I was wrong, there were 3 bolt L2Ks up until the late 90s or so.

Not that anyone cares, I just like to admit when I'm wrong...

LOL but this one ain't one of 'em! It's a 6-bolt.

3 bolt necks scare me I prefer 4 to 6 bolts ...

Ahhh, that 3 bolt weak neck nonsense stems from the dark days of mid-70s Fender production.

The G&Ls are SOLID.

Well, it arrived today. WOW. What a great-looking guitar, and the tone is.....well....earth-shaking! The setup was perfect right out of the case, the neck is narrower than my Fender Jazz 5, and it just sounds amazing. VERY happy with it!!

Nice bass. Cool finish.

Looks like a well made piece.
