FS/FT 2001 GAL G&L L2500 Fretless Birdseye & Flame

Bringing this one back to life...
Take another look... Price reduction...
I don't have a scale, but I just compared it to my 95 Smith Burner 4, and it doesn't feel much heavier. Kind of vague I know, but in the comparison, I expected a dramatic difference. I don't feel one.
10lbs on a digital scale
Thank You All
KC
















Solid Birdseye Maple Neck, Flame Maple Top. Butterscotch Blonde. Very Pretty. Completely stock.
Excellent Condition. Virtually Unmarked except for some finger marks on body below strings.
I put some blue painters tape around the jack, and above strings where my thumb rides to protect the finish.
Still has plastic film on control cavity cover.
I find I am needing frets, and so would like to get out of this one to acquire a fretted five.
This is a very nice bass, and I have been putting off letting it go, but I need the frets or at least lines.
$1600 Shipped In the CONUS
Or Trade for the right fretted/lined bass

This is ridiculous. If my L2500 had frets (or lines), I'd take this right now. Rare beast indeed. Was this a special run? Any more details would be awesome for curiosity's sake.

The person I got it from said he had just sold the fretted match to it...
I asked for the info but didn't receive it. I've been dreaming for about 4 years...

Thank You MoS
I don't have any special information on the instruments' origin beyond my answer to an earlier question.

I appreciate all the interest and offers.
