G&L Fullerton Deluxe LB-100 Bass Guitar – Fullerton Red

American-made “P” with a Golden State Pedigree

The Fullerton Deluxe LB-100 brings American-made G&L precision to Leo and George’s timeless P-style bass guitar. This proud piece of the G&L USA legacy is elegant, ergonomic, and above all, a tone machine. Its streamlined alder body and Alnico split pickup give you the growl, punch, and depth you need to take on old-school R&B to modern radio rock, with a familiar two-knob layout that punches up the harmonics for slap-and-pop funk and smooths out the response for that classic Jamerson soul. The LB-100’s 6-bolt Vintage Tint Satin Neck is built from hard rock maple and comes capped with Plek’d Medium-Jumbo Jescar frets to supply a familiar snap and effortless playability up and down the fingerboard. On the hardware end of things, G&L’s Saddle-Lock bridge anchors strings directly into the wood for increased transfer of vibrational energy. You also get G&L’s Ultra-Lite aluminum tuners for reduced neck dive and minimized weight overall. If you’re searching for a vintage-styled “P” with all the trappings of modern luxury, feast your senses on the G&L LB-100 Fullerton Deluxe from City Music.

Sleek alder body

Leo Fender and George Fullerton found a way to top the classic P-style with G&L’s 1990s LB-100 — and by extension, today’s Fullerton Deluxe LB-100. This bass’s body has a familiar shape and form-fitting contours that even traditional players are sure to love. It’s crafted from lightweight alder (a key ingredient in the classic Leo Fender recipe) to supply a reduced stage weight with no sacrifice to warmth or note definition, which means you can rock harder and longer under the lights without feeling it the following morning.

Hard rock maple neck

A bass lives and dies by its neck. We’re pleased to report that the Fullerton Deluxe’s LB-100’s hard rock maple neck more than holds its own against known classics and contemporaries. Its beautifully carved medium “C” profile supplies a substantial feel in the hand without getting in the way of a performance. Additionally, its long-lasting Jescar 57110 nickel-silver Medium Jumbo fret wire comes Plek’d from the factory for flawless performance, from first position well into lead territory.

Alnico split pickup

For fans of the classic ’50s and ’60s sound, nothing tops the “precision” punch and growl of Leo Fender and George Fullerton’s first bass guitar. A key ingredient in this bass’s mix-gluing flavor is its Alnico-magnet split pickup. The Fullerton Deluxe LB-100 looks to the original recipe for its pickup construction, using Alnico polepieces and modern winding techniques to deliver a timeless tone with enough output to handle modern styles of rock and metal.

Saddle-Lock Bridge

The Fullerton Deluxe LB-100’s Saddle-Lock bridge reduces lateral movement of the saddle pieces by tightening an Allen screw on the side of the bridge. Additionally, the Saddle-Lock bridge has a solid protrusion on its backside that is sunk firmly into the instrument’s body wood. Together, these two features make it easier for string energy to travel into the body and translate into a rich, resonant, and sustaining sound.
