G&L SB-2 Fullerton Red w/ Satin Frost - Left Handed

Heads up lefties! The G&L SB-2 is an easy choice for any bass player looking for simplicity and performance. The classic P-Bass shape is updated and upgraded with two powerful Magnetic Field Design (MFD) pickups and a hefty saddle lock bridge.

This custom ordered USA G&L SB-2 features the following:

  • Fullerton Red w/ Satin Frost on Alder, 9.2 pounds
  • Clear satin finish maple neck, 9.5" radius, 34" scale
  • 1.5" width at the nut
  • Indian Rosewood fingerboard
  • 2 G&L MFD pickups, P and J bass style
  • Tortoise Shell pickguard
  • Twin Master volume controls 
  • Lightweight aluminum tuning pegs
  • G&L patented massive saddle lock bridge
  • G&L non-compression truss rod
  • Headstock model logo delete
  • Tolex hardshell case

The SB-2 takes the best of both the P and J bass worlds and employs both a split middle pickup, and a multi-pole J-style MFD bridge pickup. The MFD bass pickups have what all MFD pickups are known for: Great clarity, a broad frequency range and plenty of output. The MFD’s invite exploration, and there is a broad spectrum of usable tones from mellow vintage, to bright funky slap, or rumbling growl.

The G&L #8 neck with its JB-influenced 1.5" nut width is comfortable to play, and for guitar players who also play bass, it's easy to acclimate to, and plays fluidly. Hands down, it’s our favorite, and the Indian Rosewood fretboard is icing on the cake. It's a beautiful compliment to the tortoise pickguard, and the dark rosewood really looks good against the Fullerton finish. 

Like all G&L bass guitars, you get hand-wired full sized pots, lightweight aluminum peg tuning keys, and G&L's hefty machined bridge with saddle lock feature. The saddle lock set screw clamps the saddles together for better sustain and fewer sympathetic vibrations.

The G&L SB-2 is deceptively simple, but extremely flexible. While traditional in looks, the MFD pickups give the SB-2 a modern edge that can be snappy and driving, or dialed back for clean springy tones that are great for jazz or fusion. If you need a professional quality instrument to cover the bases (basses) that won't bust your wallet check out the SB-2.
