❌SOLD❌ G&L SB-2 USA Solidbody Electric Bass Sunburst, 2007

❌SOLD❌   G&L SB-2 USA Solidbody Electric Bass Sunburst, 2007

Introduced in 1998, the G&L SB-2 bass represents a blending of Leo Fender’s two major bass designs into what’s now called a P-J configuration. The P-J concept appeared in the 1970’s as bassists, guitarists and third party companies sought ways to extend the sounds of their instruments. For bassists, an obvious step was to give a Precision Bass a Jazz Bass bridge pickup, hence the P-J designation. This setup was immediately popular and has worked its way into many production and custom instruments.
