Dial the G&L Tribute Series JB-2 sound in on your own rig
Import-built Tribute version of G&L's passive two-pickup Jazz bass - a pair of G&L alnico single-coils voiced after early-'60s J pickups, wired volume/volume/master tone. Classic Jazz Bass character: scooped, growly mids with both pickups up, a nasal bark on the bridge pickup alone, and a tighter, more focused low end than a Fender J thanks to the Saddle-Lock bridge.
