Well...let me just say this...this is a funk monster! I HATE maple fretboards, but I have to say...this is just the best playing neck on a bass period I have owned (with very low action)...effortless. The bass has been converted to a L2000 at some point and a Ken Smith pre, with push/pull active passive knob and dual parallel and single coil switch. Has a custom pick guard, a drop D, and comes with a excellent condition molded Musicman case with keys (that actually fits this bass like a glove). Plenty of player wear...this would definitely be a players bass (but it is 30 years old lol)...so lets just say it has a great, REAL relic job  Some fretwear, but still plenty of life.
I know there are plenty of statements made on here...but let me say this again...the BEST playing neck I have owned, and if I didn't DETEST maple boards...this bass would be buried with me...it plays that good and sounds naaaasssty. The bass is a 10 on mojo period!
PRICE DROP $749 SHIPPED and PAYPAL accepted

Hello everyone, I'm new to TB. Er well, a long time lurker, but just registered because I'm starting to get in the market for a new bass and this seems like a pretty good place to look.
Something about this bass is calling me... I have been thinking about saving up for one of the new Dingwall combustions but I'm not sure I'll make it long enough to have that much saved up if I keep looking at TB.
A few questions about this bass now. How well does it balance? You said is has very low action, I assume no fret buzz anywhere right? Are the p-ups original? And finally what do each of the knobs do? |

Balances well, low action, fret buzz is " each persons opinion"...IMHO very minimal, pups are orignal G&L's ...although one extra one was added to turn this into a L2000, Vol(push pull active/passive)/pan/bass/treble stack , switch I was told is dual parallel and single coil switch.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Denver, Colorado | | | I'm chiming in as this is my old bass that I sold to poman. The bass was originally an L1000 that I had converted to an L2000 by Luthier Steve Spaulding in Oregon. He also added the Ken Smith pre which was my choice at the time because I wanted to make the bass active but keep the 3-knob configuration. The mini toggle is a coil tap on the bridge pickup to give it more of a PJ pickup tone for some variety in tone. Also, I have him but vintage style frets on the bass. I had another luthier friend make the pickguard for it. This bass has Killer tone and I can vouch for the neck which is one of the best I ever played. I remember the weight being in the 9.5-10 lb range. The finish is original and kind of an aqua blue or some sort. I still really miss this bass sometime....saw many many gigs from me.
I needed some funds at the time and sold off some of my heavier basses ...that is why the bass left me.
Free bump
