Product Description

The P-bass shape is a staple design that doesn’t need drastic changes. That’s why Leo Fender’s G&L only subtly tweaked the classic LB-100 for a modern playing experience. 

They’ve packed the LB-100 with all the features you’d expect from a bass steeped in history, plus the added innovations of one of the best luthiers to have ever lived.

Hardware

The Tribute line of basses house great features usually found on G&L’s Californian-made series. It’s equipped with their in-house Saddle-Lock bridge design transferring more resonance into the body for a greater playing experience. 

While 21 medium-jumbo nickel frets (yes, 21) deliver high-end smoothness for great playability. At the headstock are stylish vintage open back tuning heads, one of the many design decisions that make this bass so iconic.

Sound

G&L-designed alnico V split-coil pickups provide the classic growl with added versatility for a variety of genres. Everyone knows and loves the contemporary sound of P-basses. It has a smooth low end can produce a slightly scooped midrange and bright highs. Overall a tight, focused sound.

There are two tone controls and one volume so there’s plenty of variation to work with. Roll off on the tone knobs to get a 50’s or 60’s vibe. Crank it and the you’ll have a startlingly powerful sound. 

Body and neck

The LB-100 differs from the JB or L-2000 with its sleeker, thinner body for more comfort. It sports a light Alder body in a classy gloss finish. The neck is made of a crisp, bright hard-rock Maple, with a modern C shape for easy playability.

Great build quality, excellent Pbass tone with a fierce growl if tone is turned up. The high mass bridge proprietary to G&L does help with sustain. Tuners are good solid quality, better than I'd have expected for the range. Stock strings sounded actually alright, but ended up swapping due to the coating feel, however I fully anticipated they'd need to be swapped to personal preference. Absolutely delighted with this bass
