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

Re: Family Portrait
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.blargfromouterspace wrote:Nice pair. I like that the pickups are vice-versa to one another - which works best - Humbucker in neck or bridge?
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!
