Great video, and thank you for actually doing a demo with a pick, although I would have liked you to do something a bit louder that shows off more of the range. Still, one of the best demos on YT. I'm considering buying a new bass, and the M-2000 is currently at the top of my list.

So Ed when you say the M2500 pickups are a little tamer so the preamp really does the work does that allow to M to drive and cut as well as the L? I love the tone sounds a little beefier in the low and low mids. Thank you so much for a fantastic review. I have played and L Tribute and have an opportunity for a good price on a USA M. Very tempting.

Great review, as always. I own a G&L L2500. Love it! However, during live gigs I get these unpleasant pop sounds when I hit the strings hard. I feel its because the pickups are wired hot the preamp is clipping. Had the preamp changed to another stock version, no luck again! Any idea what the issue could be? However, for recordings its totally fine. Issue is only when there is a PA involved!

I don't live anywhere near where they have this bass or any G&L to actually play. How comfortable is the medium C neck? Is it similar to the Fender Jazz? I am very used to asymmetrical necks(MTD) but this bass really sounds great for the price.

@BassWhispererTV
10 жыл бұрын
The Stingray is a great axe, a classic sound. There are many good reasons to play one. But the main thing is deciding what kind of sound you want. There are just as many reasons to get a P bass... but is it the sound you want. Then... how does it feel? Have you tried a lot of different basses? Does one feel better than the other? You need to try things first... but - a Stingray is a great bass, you can't go wrong with it... it just may not be the sound you want - you are the only one that can answer that.

Yeah, I usually use the LT5 SS set... but I wanted to restring them both fresh for the shoot and only had the Mediums... a little heavier, which kind of mess up my setup - hence the clack stuff on the neck. I really like the string, but keep in mind they are tapered - but not on a through the body G&L... the taper doesn't reach the saddle.

Charles Coleman I mean, the neck pickup (at least in my understanding) is just that: by the neck. Look at a Peavey T-40 for what I'd consider a real neck pickup. The "front" pickup on this bass is more of a middle (p-bass area) pickup, but it is in front of a bridge pickup.
