G&L SB-2 Electric Bass, Gloss White

Full Description

Lightweight Basswood Body

The G&L SB-2 Electric Bass body is made from basswood which features an iconic shape with elegant contours. Basswood produces a muscular midrange and a fat, well-balanced tone that sits well in any mix.

Top of The Range Hardware

The G&L SB-2 Electric Bass is loaded with top of the range hardware, including a Leo Fender designed G&L Saddle-Lock, a G&L MFD split-coil in the neck position, and a G&L MFD single coil in the bridge position. The G&L MFD split-coil is high in output and has the ability to change which coil is used at what time. The G&L MFD single coil produces a high output with a clear midrange and smooth top. Both pickups use ceramic magnets rather than alnico V, for a high-quality sound.

Maple Neck & Rosewood Fretboard

The G&L SB-2 Electric Bass features a bolt-on maple neck with a medium C shape profile. Fitted with a rosewood fretboard and 21 medium jumbo nickel frets, this bass offers excellent playability and comfort. The rosewood fretboard and maple neck produce a warm, mellow tone with lower mids, along with a natural texture.

The History of G&L

G&L was founded by Leo Fender and George William Fullerton in the late 1970s after Leo sold his company Fender in 1965. They went on for many years building high-quality guitars for the public and stars alike. Sadly, in the March of 1991 Leo Fender passed away on the very same day he finished his last prototype, declaring that he had given all he can to the musicians of the world to his wife Phyllis. Before Leo’s passing, he wanted to ensure that the legacy which him and George had built (G&L) would carry on shining into the far future. It was then that his wife Phyllis under request from Leo chose John C.McLaren (CEO of BBE Sound) to take over management, expand and develop in the way Leo dreamed. With John as the CEO and Phyllis as an Honorary Chairman, G&L continued to grow into the great company it is today just as Leo envisioned it too.
