3 knob SB-2?

Sun Nov 01, 2015 6:45 pm

I saw this picture of a SB-2 with a sidejack and a third control knob on the G&L facebook page. is this knob a tone control and I don't see this option listed anywhere on the G&L site....any ideas?

I posted this same photo along with the other two and the description in the G&L Porn!!! (Photos, Video Clips & Audio) sub-forum.
See the quoted text in that post: A recent SB-2 with Tone knob and side jack ....
It looks to be a one-off or perhaps a special order by the dealer where it is headed to. I suggest you contact that dealer to find out if they ordered it that way and
if they can order more. I do know that you cannot order Empress body wood as an optional wood due the limited availability.

Hope this helps.

I did some research on the SB-2T and found that 30th Anniversary SB-2 was built with a tone control and side jack. These were available from 2010-2012.
In 2013, G&L dealer Rocket Music commissioned G&L Sales to do a special run of the SB-2 with tone control and side jack, same as the 30th Anniversary SB-2T.
Today, I saw four SB-2T basses listed on the G&L Inventory list (sent to all G&L dealers) and are available to any G&L dealer for sale. See: G&L USA Factory Inventory.
I am checking with one of my contacts at G&L to find out if this is a new standard model or if they are still Special Builds.

Hope this helps.

That looks to be a very cool bass!

I would love to try one out.
