Now that it's acclimated to Colorado I'm gonna install a little heavier gauge set of strings with a bit more tension and "fight" then adjust the setup again for those. After the settling in I'm beginning to get some clanking and fret buzz from the lighter gauge strings that are on it.
After researching some of the specs for setups I'm wondering if I'll be able to get the actions as low as I do on my Fender basses without some buzz. The Fenders both have Babicz FCH Bridges and those have really helped in that regard and tonally as well. And....these MFD pickups are major league ballsy so I still have to find my way around their sweet spots as well.
But that aside there's just so much more the L2500 has to offer than my Jazz Bass I'm not sure if it's worth keeping it. The PBass will always be a mainstay for me but the Jazz is getting pushed aside by the new guy on he block. It's just far more versatile, that "growl" is still there as well, and if looks could kill it'd be up on a murder charge.
All I can say is that I'm glad I finally gave in to trying G&L product after so many years as a Fender guy. The value they offer is huge.
