G&L's L-5500 Five-String Bass

D Gear Lust Web Site DGo To The Music Connection "New Toys" Directory

The latest addition to the famed G&L guitar line is the L-5500 five-string bass guitar. This bass uses a 34-inch scale that has the patented Leo Fender fixed bridge with saddle locking mechanism. The set screws at the side of the bridge push the bridge saddles together to all work as one solid unit for increase sustain and less unwanted rattles and vibration.

The neck shape comes in either rosewood or maple and a pair of EMG 40 DC humbuckers with EMG's BTC tone circuit are standard pickup/electronics. G&L's own Ultra-Lite bass guitar machine heads use aluminum string posts to reduce the weight at that end of the instrument thereby improving the overall balance and feel. Lastly, the L-5500 comes in all of the company's premier and standard finishes. For much more you can contact G&L via BBE Sound Inc., at 5381 Production Drive, Huntington Beach, CA 92649.
