NBD! G&L content.

It got me. I never had a chance. It wasn’t a fair fight. I was looking for an inexpensive backup/jam night bass. I bought a brand new player series Jazz, it was junk, I sent it back. Looking for something else, I thought I’d check out the G&L Tribute series. I accidentally stumbled onto this beast.

Not inexpensive. Not a jam night beater. Not even a backup, as I’m pretty sure after using it on the gig last night it’s going to be my number one bass.

The pictures don’t do it justice. At all. In person it’s much brighter, more vibrant, and super sparkly. Royal Purple is about the coolest color I’ve ever seen. I’ll definitely be getting an ASAT guitar this color at some point.

Ladies and gents, meet Grimace.

OH YES!!!!!

 

[Cpb2020]

G&L makes fine instruments. Congrats!

 

[G&Lplayer]

Love that color, have fun with it.

 

[Tall-Fir]

What a beautiful G&L Bass! I love the color. Enjoy!

I have a LB-100 in natural with a satin frost finish that I really like.

 

[Killing Floor]

Great bass! That color is fabulous. Rock on.

 

[superjam144]

Yow that's nice. And yeah an asat that color .... You won life.

 

[kbold]

Oh yes ..... sparkely purple. Well done.

Looks like a #1

 

[DavidP]

Yep, that’s definitely purple!! Never seen that G&L colour before. I am still amazed after all these years, that G&L doesn’t have the brand recognition it deserves.
Now all you need is a matching shirt to go with it.
Congrats & enjoy!

 

[Dave W]

I predict you'll love it.

My #1 is a blue sparkle 2014 L-1000 from a limited run.

 

[haggardfan1]

Holy crap JD! That had your name all over it.

What bass are you gonna let the pizza grease fingered jam guests play??

That looks so dang cool, congratulations.

 

[Jupiter]

okay but what about the jam bass then??

 

[Jakedog]

okay but what about the jam bass then??

You and @haggardfan1 have both asked a very legitimate question. And the answer is “I don’t know”. I kinda blew my wad on this one. I had zero intention of buying anything even in this ballpark. But I saw it and kinda lost my faculties. It was definitely a crime of passion. But it ensures that I won’t be buying another instrument for a good while. I may just have to institute a “bring your own or you’re outta luck” policy.

Sweet, a Prince of a Bass

 

[brookdalebill]

Love it!
Cool color, too.

 

[Jupiter]

yeah, if the new SE Silver Sky came in this color I'd be in serious trouble

 

[Blackout Jazz]

Glarry for the jam.

Nice G&L.

 

[ndcaster]

Purple sparkle?

I dub thee Jake Doggy Dogg.

I recently heard on NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me" that Grimace's oft-debated origin is he is a giant taste bud.

Your bass is beautiful. That pickup intrigues me. Now here comes a taste bud pun ...

Can't wait to hear some licks!

Fuzzy Purple Mascot Is Taste Bud

 

[Preacher]
