Product Description
This custom USA LB-100 features:
Whiskey finish on Empress, 6.8 poundsSatin vintage finish maple neckRosewood fretboardMedium jumbo frets'Medium C' neck profile, 9.5‰Û� radius, 1 1/2‰Û� width at the nutG&L tuners with lightweight aluminum split posts3-ply Tortoise Shell pickguardG&L Alnico V P-style split middle pickup, noise cancellingVolume and tone controlsHeadstock logo deletePlek laser guided fret finishingDeluxe tolex hardshell caseMade in Fullerton, CAList price: $2358Conceptually,this bass does not depart from Leo Fender's seminal bass design, but
the beauty is in the execution. This LB-100 has a nicely contoured and balanced Empress body with a translucent Whiskey finish. Paired with the tortoiseshell pickguard
it's kind of stealthy but not bland, and does not show fingerprints as much as a black or solid color guitar. While the LB-100 comes standard with a 1-5/8" width neck, we opted for the J-bass style 1-1/2" nut width neck, which we find very comfortable, especially for bassists who are also guitar players. We also opted for the clean look of just the "G&L" logo on the headstock, known as the "logo delete" option.
We've really grown to like Empress as a tonewood for bass guitars. Besides it's incredibly light weight -- less than seven pounds in this case -- Empress has other desirable qualities that
make it great for bass guitars. It's tonality is naturally on the bright side, but the frequency response is very broad with a clean tone that emphasized the fundamental note. Low notes have lots of volume and bounce, and while "piano like" gets used often in describing bass
guitars, it really does describe Empress. Even unplugged there is a lot natural volume, and a lively percussive tone.
Tested through our gigging rig -- BBE Bmax preamp, Carvin DCM1000L power amp and Carvin 4x10 Bass Cab -- the unplugged qualities of the LB-100 carried over with clean tone that was both rich and percussive. The G&L-made Alnico 5 pickup has a nice wide response, and even with its central mounting location provided an ample amount of high end content. If you like to slap, the highly responsive nature of Empress makes the bass a natural for fans of Flea and other slap artists. But it does have volume and tone controls, and it's not problem to dial in more mellow tones that are rounder, softer, and more typical of what you might expect from a P-Bass. This bass has the capability to be very aggressive or laid back and jazzy.
Elsewhere, typical G&L design details are evident: Plek'd neck, Aluminum tuning pegs to reduce headstock weight and improve balance, neatly wired controls with full-sized pots,
and G&L's substantial and fully adjustable saddle lock bridge.
The LB-100 is not fancy or complex but is neatly executed and solidly built with top-notch hardware and materials. The result is a big, natural sounding instrument that can slot into almost any playing situation or style of music. When you get the fundamentals right, you
don't need a lot of bells and whistles.
