G&L LB-100 Bass Left Handed Sunburst - Authorized G&L Premier Dealer

Here's a like-new Left Handed G&L LB-100 in classic Sunburst. The LB-100 harks back to Leo Fender's most classic bass design; essentially the genesis of the electric bass.

This custom USA LB-100 features:

• Sunburst on Alder, 8.8 pounds
• Gloss vintage finish maple neck
• Rosewood fretboard
• Medium jumbo frets
• G&L #12 neck, 12" radius, 1-5/8" nut width
  
• G&L tuners with lightweight aluminum split posts
• 3-ply Tortoise Shell pickguard
• G&L Alnico V P-style split middle pickup, noise cancelling
• Volume and tone controls
• Plek laser guided fret finishing
• Deluxe tolex hardshell case w/build sheet and paperwork
  
• Made in Fullerton, CA

Conceptually, this bass does not depart from Leo Fender's seminal bass design, but the beauty is in the execution. This LB-100 has a nicely contoured and balanced Alder body, and G&L's solidly anchored saddle lock bridge. A small set screw clamp on the side locks all the saddles together for better sustain and fewer sympathetic vibrations.

The G&L-made Alnico 5 pickup has a nice wide -- and noiseless -- response, and even with its central mounting location provided an ample amount of high end content. The hand-wired full size pots provide ample tone shaping capabilities, and while the LB-100 can slap with the best of them, it's no problem to dial in more mellow tones that are rounder, softer, and more typical of what you might expect from a P-Bass. This bass has the capability to be very aggressive or laid back and jazzy.

The LB-100 is not fussy or complex but is neatly executed and solidly built with top-notch hardware and materials. The result is a big, natural sounding instrument that can slot into almost any playing situation or style of music. When you get the fundamentals right, you don't need a lot of bells and whistles.
