Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this G&L Fullerton Deluxe LB-100! Made right in their factory in Fullerton, California, these Fullerton Deluxe basses offer you the incredible craftsmanship, playability, and tone of a USA Custom, but at a lower price point since it is not a custom build. This is a great way to scoop up a top-quality USA-made bass while still keeping some green in your pocket.

The LB-100 made its debut some 20 years ago continuing Leo Fender's legacy. The idea is simple: It's a slightly upgraded version of a classic, tried and true design. Picture the familiarity and ease of its predecessor, but with improved comfort and balance, better note definition and longer sustain. Organic and direct, the sound is the perfect one-size-fits-all bass tone. Lay foundation for every other instrument to stand on and hold the groove, or step out in the mix and cut through like a chainsaw with that upper-mid grind and growl. The body carve contours nicely to your body, encouraging multi-hour practice and playing sessions. G&L has dialed in the fretboard just right. You can expect a smooth ride all the way up with a balanced and breathable neck feel. The Caribbean rosewood looks beautiful, comes with some stunning figuring, and sounds very similar to pau ferro. It still has all of that warmth that is associated with rosewood but has a tiny bit of extra brightness and snappiness to it.

This is the perfect bass for anyone who plays several styles of music and needs a reliable bass that'll hold up and sound great night after night. Tonally this is definitely steeped in the traditional 60's sound, but has some modern touches that improve playability and adds some definition to the sound.

Manufacturer's Description

The Fullerton Deluxe LB-100 bundles some classic combinations from the G&L Option Order menu, each with an alder body for rich, traditional tone and paired with a pickguard that sets off the color just right.

Players fond of the old adage “if it ain’t broke…” haven’t played an LB-100. You see, the G&L LB-100 is all about refinement, blending “holy grail” Alnico split-coil tone with modern improvements and superb craftsmanship.

This LB-100 projects a time-honored yet subtly progressive vibe, embracing the past yet unafraid of moving forward. The slim, hard-rock maple neck features an easy-playing vintage satin finish, while its comfortable 9 1/2″ radius and Jescar 57110 medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets deliver silky playability. What’s more, the LB-100 features an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument.
