actually we do. yamaha music singapore is the defacto distributor of both the tribute and G&L line here in singapore. just that they feel convinced that G&L is a "slow-mover" and "insufficient market demand" for more G&Ls and have determined that singapore will at the moment, have only the tribute range of G&Ls, which are , nonetheless pretty good basses (IMHO)

imho, i cannot place the double bucker sound on anything. perhaps i'm too attuned to the more 'regular' and 'identifiable' standard tones of the precision, jazz and SR. for what its worth, the sabre is tremendously loud and the neck hum puts a stop to the bite of the bridge hum, adding a more even tone to it. when the bridge hum is isolated, it does not sound like a SR at all. it seems that the sabre pickups are smaller than a SR.
it is also the heaviest bass in my arsenal.
i'm still trying to setup the damn thing. frets 1-7 are worn down, current action is high to avoid the buzz.
since i'm getting new TI powerbass strings from cherns, will do setup then.
also, i now realise the wonders of that microtilt system in the 3 bolt neck joint.

alright.. oh well.
If you can, try those basses out anyway first! i've played a friend's bongo 5.. not sure if that is similar to a stingray h/h.. but if it is, then its pretty solid man, if you dont dig in too much, it sounds very clear and articulate... (but its really hard to define a sound since everyone has a prefered EQ setting.. haha)
