Hi, I'm new on this forum, so I thought I'd post a couple pics of my lefty G&Ls. I have an '83 SB2 1st gen JJ pups Attachment: GEDC0042a.JPG [ 95.07 KiB | Viewed 8017 times ] and an '81 L1000 fretless Attachment: GEDC0100.JPG [ 119.88 KiB | Viewed 8026 times ] |

Nice pair of basses, and welcome to the board.  Does your L-1000 have a mahogany body? |

Thanks Andrew. Yes it's mahogany. Here's a body shot: Attachment: GEDC0109.JPG [ 158.79 KiB | Viewed 8009 times ] You can see a little reddish figuring in the ebony fretboard in this pic. Apparantly they did not stain the ebony in the early days of G&L. |

Have you acquired these recently? I remember two identical basses offered for sale on this forum. Very pretty! |

Yes Jeroen, I got both w/in the last few months, before I knew about this forum. One (the SB2) was on TB; the 1K I got off e bay. They are both real good players! The SB2 has a real bright punchy tone, and the 1K thumps! G&Ls are a good value used imo, and there are quite a few lefties around. Not as many to be found in Europe though I think, which is too bad, because they are like Fenders on steriods, for less $. |

Indeed, G&L's are great basses. I used to own a 1990's SB-2 (identical to the current model, with the PJ-configuration) and loved it, but didn't play it often enough to justify keeping it. I sold it on leftybass.com. |

I've always liked them but have never owned one. You have a good collection going there, I love the green JB-2

I have been meaning to take pictures of my G&L LB-100 since I plan on selling it. Every weekend has been cloudy, so I can't get any good natural light. Soon! |
