Some of that is just iPhone video. It was just a quick video....

Thank you for the feedback. Funny thing, I have a Doheny too, and while I'm not a strat player the Doheny became my main guitar and I don't play my ASAT nearly as much.

Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier. Gracias!

Fair enough. The Doheny is definitely an offset for G&L fans. A diehard JM player would likely not be swayed, but we think the Doheny can cover a wider range of music. Thank you for the feedback.

@@upfrontguitarsandmusicllc436 thank you man, great content!

Thank you Alan. This has been our most popular video, despite my playing!

Hi there, Thanks for reaching out. The mod you're talking about is a normal Build-to-Order option on the SB-2 called the Tone Mod. It's a simple replacement of the front jack with a tone pot and moving the jack to the side of the bass. It's an inexpensive add on to a build so we do tend to build our SB-2's with that option frequently. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions!

@@upfrontguitarsandmusicllc436 many thanks for your answer. Yes, I did it myself with a stacked knobs for volume control and one fit the tone. No need to déplacé the jack. Best regards

This is a factory install. We did not do it ourselves. It's an unlisted option at G&L@@grooveattitude06

The ASAT Special pickups do sound more like a traditional tele in terms of mid scoop, but they are constructed with bar magnets like P-90's (albeit ceramic rather than ALNICO). The most full bodied tele style pickup in the G&L universe is the ASAT Classic by far. We have a demo of that on our channel as well. We build most of our ASAT specials with a hotter wound bridge pickup to give them a little more meat but translating audio honestly online is always tough too depending on what you're listening through. Thanks for checking out the video!

@@upfrontguitarsandmusicllc436 Do you build your own ASAT Special pickups? If so, do you sell them as well? "More meat" sounds like exactly what they need!

The one on the wall on the right(his left shoulder) is a G&L Fallout of some sort

It's a discontinued Heritage model. I think it's a Roy Clark, but not sure.

That's a Godin Kingpin II P-90. We have been a Godin dealer for over a decade and we always have them in stock at the shop. Let me know if you have any questions!

The MFD's absolutely have more output than a standard Strat. Any G&L MFD holds up fairly well to a humbucker, but humbuckers vary widely in output. But I frequently bring a G&L Doheny or ASAT and a humbucker guitar to gigs. The bridge pickup on the Doheny is true to form and does not have a lot of bottom, but still way less anemic than a Strat.

Thanks so much for the kind words! We'll let Scott know!

Hi Alex, the 2 and 3-tone sunburst finishes are actually "standard" finishes which default on Alder unless you request a different body wood. While we spec out pretty much all our G&L's (some tamer than others) this one would be Alder because we actually like the slightly beefier mid response with the ASAT Special pickups. That being said, Swamp Ash is usually our favorite tonal match with most of the MFD pickups and has the most attractive grain.

It depends on the finish. The standard burst colors are alder, while other optional clear finishes are swamp ash. The old school tobacco in the video is alder.

Thank you!

That's right. I had a L2K Tribute bass I deeply regret trading in. Hell of a tone factory.

@@miggymystic thanks for the reply!

Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you for the great feedback and glad you are enjoying the radium. Feel free to reach out anytime!

We don't currently have any lefty Doheny's in stock (lots on order though) but G&L is a build-to-order manufacturer so if you're interested in getting one made to spec feel free to give us a call or send us an e-mail. I can send you our PDF booklet of all the G&L options and make as many formal quotes as you'd like. Let me know if you have any questions!

There isn't, because I bought the ridiculously beautiful USA Doheny lefty in orange that UpFront had! That said, I'd encourage you to snag one if you have yet to do so. Another plus of the Donehy beyond its looks and tone is that those curves also make it much lighter than an ASAT, for example. Happy playing to you.

Hi Luis, thank you for the good feedback. If you shopping for an SB-2 in the future, please let us know - Gordon

Thanks so much for the kind words Marc, we really appreciate it and we're glad you love you Doheny! Let us know if there's anything we can do for you in the future.

Thank you for your input. I don't hate the Jazzmaster. It has some quirks that for most people don't turn out to be totally useful, and I'm not alone in that opinion. The Doheny is a more straightforward rendition of the offset guitar, and for some that is appealing.
