Here is a quick demo of my USA G&L Custom Shop Matador Bass.
The Matador is only available as a Custom Shop instrument at the moment.
This bass has a Swamp Ash body with a custom 2 tone-frost burst with matching headstock, a maple neck and Wenge fretboard.
The controls are: Volume for each pickup, master tone and a switch that affects the neck pickup only and goes from parallel to series.
The Alnico V pickups are wound hotter than normal and the bridge pickup has more winds than the neck pickup.
The bass is loaded with DR Pure Blues and I recored the bass Direct through my A-Designs Audio REDDI and UA 2-1176 and Apollo Twin Duo and used Tsunami Cables for all connections. I installed the Hipshot D-tuner.
I will do a more complete review in a month or two after I've been gigging the bass for a while. So far it is outstanding!!!
