Re: NGD: NOS G&L
Thread resurrection.
Just traded a bass to obtain a barely used trans black Ascari GTS. Its flamed veneer top is less conspicuously displayed than on the red finish. In the unlikely event that I did make a pickguard, it would barely show.
Specification includes Gotoh Tone Pros bridge and tailpiece. The in-house humbuckers come across as strongly reminiscent of a JB/'59n pair. Coil split via a push-pull pot. The selector switch and pots are cheap Cortek rubbish.
I may upgrade some of the electronics. I could go active solderless. I might just flip the guitar to get another bass.

Nice axe, good concept, but I personally prefer the ergonomics of Strats to Teles, so just gimme the Legacy with the same neck-on switch and I'd be a happy camper.

Check out musiciansfriend. They heavily discounted the Tribute guitars. Pretty sweet guitars for less than $400.

Looks awesome. I'm a big fan of those PRS style guitars that aren't PRS's. The Paul Reed Smiths always seem to have really twangy pickups and I'm not a big fan of the bridges on them.

I fully agreee!!! keep it nekkid!!! congrats!! nice score!! I didnt realize they went to diff components on later runs. Seems to be common place in the market. IMO its almost like bait and switch and really tarnishes a company's rep in my eyes..

Re: NGD: NOS G&L
Thinking about selling this one as part of a downsizing/purging effort. It's not that I don't like it. It's just that it's my newest guitar, and I haven't dumped any money or effort into modding it yet, so it's easier to let it go than most. Also, I have been so busy at work this year that I haven't got to play it much, so we're not bonded yet. I never put a guard on it, FWIW.
