Family Portrait

Post by Driver3 »

Quick pic of the G&L's.
2013 USA Fallout, early example. Installed coil tap tone control and shimmed neck. Awesome, versatile guitar.
The ASAT is a Tribute Bluesboy Musicians Friend/Guitar Center exclusive color - Turquoise Mist Metallic. I bought this to mod. It has a Cavalier pickups Fat Lion in the bridge and a Duncan 59 in the neck. Very nice player and great sounding.
The amp is a 1967 Fender Bassman AB165. I replaced the electrolytic caps and a few resistors. Custom cab by Mather Cabs.

Nice trio there Driver3! The color of that Blueboy is pretty cool. Cheers, Dan

Nice pair. I like that the pickups are vice-versa to one another - which works best - Humbucker in neck or bridge?

Very nice! Looks simple and versatile! Now you only need an S-500 or Legacy with a DFV! ;-)

I don't think either is better. The 59 in the ASAT can get that smooth jazzy tone and gets plenty barky with the tone control wide open.
The JB in the Fallout has classic bucker bridge tones. I overall prefer the Fallout but it is getting closer as I adjust the set-up on the ASAT.
The neck on the ASAT was pretty much unfinished on the back. I finished it with some clear Watco after working it over with some 4-0 steel wool. It is super smooth now!
