In 1982 — three years after the founding of G&L — the company introduced the SB-2, a bass guitar that embodied Leo Fender’s considerable insight on the subject. Today, the 45th Anniversary Limited-run SB-2 pays tribute to G&L’s iconic history with an instrument that benefits from decades of modern refinements, top-shelf tonewoods, advanced electronics, and meticulous construction by G&L’s world-class luthiers at the Fullerton factory. The SB-2 is designed for speed. With its comfortable Medium C neck carve and 1.5-inch nut, this bass facilitates fast technical runs as well as deep, rootsy grooves. G&L Magnetic Field Design pickups deployed in a P-J configuration make the SB-2 a versatile workhorse with the tonal range to accommodate any genre. And its sleek body contours hug you like a glove, whether you’re rocking hard onstage or sitting in your studio overdubbing. Simply put, the 45th Anniversary Limited-run SB-2 is in a class by itself.
