Today's Lunch: I may go ahead and splurge on the calories of a Five Guys Burger and Fries. If you have never had a Five Guys burger, I highly recommend them. They use fresh ingredients and offer more toppings than I can easily list.
Today's topic: Truss rods, Tributes and Taking a bass solo:
The neck question yesterday inevitably led to the truss rod question: What lind of truss rod is G&L currently using in their instruments?
Answer; A dual rod that is not compressing the wood to create tension in the neck.
Some of you prefer the bi-cut neck and others like the new neck design.
I personally love the new rod/neck design because I can finally get a flat bass neck on a G&L bass as demonstrated in my Trubute L-2000.
I bought this bass about 4 months ago and I have used it on several gigs. It has performed as well as my USA L-2000 with the exception of the fact that I tend to hit the pickup selector switch accidentally because of the up/down orientation of the switch. Other than that, I think the quality of these Tribute instruments is excellent for the price.
Taking a bass solo: I just go for it!
Have a great Thursday!
