This is my first post here, so sorry to ask a few involved questions.
I am a guitarist from the UK but I own a G&L Tribute Bass but have never played a G&L guitar until today. While in a shop looking for a completely different guitar I saw a used 2003 Tribute ASAT Classic, swamp ash natural finish, maple neck & fingerboard, tortoiseshell pick guard, as soon as I played it I felt at home, I really loved the neck shape. I am thinking about buying it but I have some questions.
1) I felt the price is a bit high compared to a new (this shop does not stock new G&L) model but when I looked at the latest spec I see the new ones do not come with satin neck in this finish, I really liked the satin neck. I believe I am right the 2003 was the first year of the Tribute and they were made in Korea. Are there any issues with these early models I should be aware of?
2) Has the neck shape/profile changed on these Tribute models since 2003?
3) Anyone know the fret depth on the Tribute ASAT Classic neck?
3) This has also got me looking at USA G&L, what would be the equivalent USA neck profile to this Tribute neck? I don't see many USA ASAT Classics for sale here in the UK but the ones I do see all have the no1 'Classic C' profile, which I am guessing is much chunkier than the Tribute I tried today.
Any info would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Steve
