There is one man that is responsible for three of the most iconic bass guitar designs of all time.

Leo Fender. Of course, he made the P-base in 51. In 57, it turned into the P-base that we all know and love.

Then, of course, came the jazz bass. Then he sells Fender to CBS, signs a tenure, do not compete, and comes out

with the third most iconic bass of all time, the Music Man Stingray. But then in the late

70s, he starts G&L, guitars by Leo, and why is this not the fourth most iconic base of all time?

And that's why we're here today to find out if G&L is Leo Fender's best kept secret or biggest failure.

So Ian and I are actually gonna play all of these bases

and we're going to compare the G&Ls to the classics.

But first, we had the incredible experience

of meeting with Steve Arrajo from G&L

and he was coming to us from Leo Fender's Lab.

Let's check it out.

Steve, you are in a special place right now, right? You've told me about this,

but I've never seen it before right now. I am in Leo Fender's laboratory. Okay,

now hold on. That statement is sort of like a bomb drop in and of itself, but what does that

mean? It means that I am literally sitting where Leo Fender

used to sit and laboratize. What? Hey, we're Scott's bass lessons. Yeah, we talk to you about

playing the bass and how to play the bass, but sometimes you want to know about gear. And that's what we're doing right now.

We're taking you through a brand and letting you know about the G&L bass.
