    it is good!

    Made in the USA
    G & L bridge solid in good order.
    Passive micro style Fender Precision. one volume, one tone.
    This is basically a slightly lighter accuracy.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle? screwed a highway, with rosewood fingerboard for mine.
    The correct weight can play several hours without fatigue.
    Access to acute is perfect
    The sound is perfect for me, everything is done with the amp settings (Gros output level for a passive bass - to be nearly the same as a MM sting ray).
    The settings are very simple and effective. Everything is done to tone knob. eg to switch to slap or a pick, I just drop a little treble.

    I used:
    - Direct console - on micro-cube - On Fender bassman 100 - SVTII/8X10 on Ampeg - Ashdown, Mesa ... that's good.

    SOUNDS

    The mind is Fender PB
    Maid of all, it sounds on any amp (mine sounded great vacuum, which made me decide to buy it (for me, any instrument -. GT or electric bass - must of first ring vacuum)
    Excellent for any type of music, simple and classy.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I played in a cover band rock / funk / reggae and some years since I used in the studio.
    I am only an occasional bassist, I love above all ease of use, grain, handle, reasonable weight, electronic passive (no batteries!)
    good bass!

    Modl SB2 manufacturing States, 21 frets maple neck maple key, 2 single coil pickups with a passive type 1 and type precision jazz bass, G & L bridge of beauty rglages two volumes by a micro no Tone and we can manage without trs well. Hipshot prcises Mcaniques trs.

    UTILIZATION

    Use ... The word is almost too hard to talk about the race of the low, the more accurate term would be highway. The body is basically a precision with dcoupes that make it so comfortable, the weight is heavy enough to ensure the sustain and lightweight enough not to fatigue APRS scne 4 hours. This bass can be described as a moeleuse use and the more it benefitted from an exemplary finish.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is easy to find, one branch and we play every SETTING THE Tone will be on the amp, which is surprising to some beginners, but makes life much easier.
    I use a Fender bass for this BXR300 scne. The BXR is to be rput dificil argler and well with the SB2, legalization was flat, it sounds! Remains just a play on the amp mdium to spend its precision and jazz bass. By closing the grave gives micro aisment of acute slamming the slap.
    In the studio I use a POD low, and yet, no worries its desire to find all there.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this bass for 2 years now, having bought some APRS I sold a jazz bass, because I had no reason to keep a bass that was redundant.
    This bass is versatile enough for my style (country, country rock, blues), I always find the sound I like.
    I also have the same guitar manufacturer AST spcial (same level of quality and I always find it rather surprising that bassists and guitarists, are "scotchquot; a 2 or 3 brand of guitars and spend a cot in such instruments.
    My wish is that the importer moves a little buttocks to know this brand, it down a little price to move to better tackle the market and that all musicos hair look a little different than things. ..... ......, or in my case, I would no other choice.

    Lower United States, mine is a sunburst bought misery in 1991. I feel at the time, it was not easy to sell. The store home loan were two he kept a long time before the solder to 5000 FF. My regret is having missed the cue, but it was the sunburst of exquisite.

    Pasissandre key, maple neck, body ... very very heavy. The nickname of my G & L Bass Heavy!

    The head is not as celled G & L are present: there is no small point. However, the leaflet G & L was in the case shows that other models SB-1 and SB-2 had the edge, so it's not a question of generation. But the latest SB had, like the picture above.

    A micro-type precision passive. One volume, one tone, which only reduces the treble. Two spaces more than the Fender, which achieves the high E and then stack three octaves.

    In short, as simple and proven.

    And G & L approved the SB, so I feel like a rare instrument!

    UTILIZATION

    The body shape is perfect to reach the last box. The handle is nice, a little physical, but I have big hands and I play rarely triple-note, I've never complained.

    Little action as possible on his view the configuration, except the bass is very sensitive to the set of right hand attacks are very well reproduced, attacks such as soft stand near the handle it becomes very round, towards the bridge more percussive. Great. All bass players who were able to try it thought the greater good.

    A small regret, but it may be a setting, the sounds of the low E string are brooms, a little mixed with others. But what a sound!

    The level is very high, much more than my Jazz Bass.

    SOUNDS

    The sounds are very upscale. I played blues, rock, jazz. As I said before, the sound is built on the right hand and you can have a gentle walking like a big hard rock.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I love this bass. In addition, sentimental value, even sold off, I could not get the offer and that my young friend offered it to me. I remained faithful to the low and the friend (now my wife), even if I bought a Jazz Bass phatasme rather than by real need.
    EDIT no interest here: I sold my jazz bass is definitely that the SB-1 is enough in itself. And my wife has just dumped me, so finally, my SB-1 is more accurate.

    Mine is exactly the same as the picture
    Made in USA (mid 90)
    21 frets, 1 micro-type precision
    G & L bridge sumptuous
    Channel a bit slimmer than that of a precision, maple fingerboard.

    Simple and effective

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is a delight
    access to acute is uneventful. We play on the 21st square without any problem.
    the bass is perfectly balanced and not too heavy (compared to my G & L L2000)
    It's part and it rings right away. The tone control is very effective

    SOUNDS

    "Are they suitable for your style of music?"
    I find this question con. In my opinion, correct any low can play any music. Following is a question of taste.

    I find this question con. In my opinion, correct any low can play any music. Following is a question of taste.

    I use it plugged in:
    Hybrid head Ashdown + 1 2 * 10 cabinet Eden: beautiful
    a preamp SansAmp PSA1: superb
    head + cabinet Ampeg 8 * 10 "super
    Premap Studio API: superb

    This bass gives a precision-type sound with more depth and a little something from the old musicman in the attack.
    Fingers, pick, and even slapper, it's a treat.

    I am not 10 because it could be more versatile

    EDIT
    One year later, I find it lacks a bit of chest compared to a old precision. But it catches up very well with a good amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 months again, recording and concert yesterday
    I like everything about this bass
    I just wish she does not like coffee and it can not produce the sound of an old gibson mahogany.

    With experience, I do it again this election
