The G&L Tribute SB-2 4-string Electric Bass comes with Mahogany Body, Maple Neck and Maple Fingerboard, and P/J Pickups.
Tribute SB-2 both honors and modernizes this fan favorite with upgraded hardware and decadent player comforts.
The 34-inch-scale medium "C" bolt maple neck now sports a 12-inch radiused fretboard for reduced risk of fretting out, along with a satin backing for unhindered access to all your favorite fret positions.
The body is crafted from poplar and features a stripped-down PJ MFD pickup complement for instant access to some of rock and soul's most coveted sounds.
Increasing tone and performance are G&L's Saddle-Lock bridge for an increased transfer of vibrational energy between strings and woods, and a set of precise open-gear tuners with large-format clover tuning keys for greater tuning stability.
The G&L Tribute SB-2's hard rock maple neck more than holds its own against known classics and contemporaries. Its beautifully carved medium "C" supplies a substantial feel in the hand without getting in the way of a performance. Medium-jumbo frets minimize fret-hand strain. And a satin backing keeps your hand from sticking, ensuring fast and confident playability.
PJ Magnetic Field Design pickups.
The ultra-versatile PJ pickups in the G&L Tribute SB-2 feature powerful ceramic bar magnets and adjustable polepieces to give you rich output even coverage from string to string, position to position.
A simple dual-volume layout that forgoes the familiar tone knob allows you to dial in the sound you're after without fuss.
Saddle-Lock Bridge.
The Tribute SB-2's Saddle-Lock bridge reduces lateral movement of the saddle pieces by tightening an Allen screw on the side of the bridge.
Additionally, the Saddle-Lock bridge has a solid protrusion on its backside that is sunk firmly into the instrument’s body wood.
Together, these two features make it easier for string energy to travel into the body and translate into a rich, resonant, and sustaining sound.
