Up for grabs we have a G&L L-2500. The color is almost like their Cherryburst, but a bit darker - and it's flamed. It's got a matching headstock to boot!
Electronics sound great - all modes work well. It's definitely a player's bass - a little scuffed, but not SO bad. Hardware has aged for sure, and as shown below, the neck has some wear.
The only issues with the bass are: a small crack in the fingerboard between the nut and first fret. Doesn't affect the playability of the instrument. Also, the back of the neck is very worn between the 1st & 5th frets, but it feels so good. You can see the pic below.
Anyway, it's a real nice instrument. I'm shipping it WITHOUT the pictured case (which is disgusting), for $900 ConUS.

| | aka Marc or Marky Potatoes | | Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: Brooklyn, NY, United States | | The sale will not include the case (you wouldn't want it anyway). I could not get the exact string spacing at the bridge, but it's a little tighter than an American Standard P5. It's very comfy though, IMO. Electronics are passive & active, with a series/parallel switch and pickup selector. Passive Bass & treble tone controls too.
Here's a pic of the crack on the fingerboard, slightly hidden by the A string: 
Truss area is also a little scuffed, but everything is in working order.
