FS/FT: G&L USA NAMM show L-2500 Tobaccoburst

Kristopher · #1 10-08-2010, 08:04 PM

This is a 2001 L-2500 tobacco burst made for the 2001 NAMM show. It has a rosewood fretboard with no dots (but there are dots on the side). I originally got the bass off TB from this thread. This bass has a great sound with lots of tone options.

Included is the same fully functional G&L case that still has a few feet broken off but still does its job perfectly.

Cash: Final price drop! $950 paypal shipped.

Trades: EBMM Big Al or Reflex

This is one slick bass.

I really miss this bass, she's a beaut, and will make someone very very happy. I wish I had more occasion to play a 5 string. If I had the cash and could get away with buying her back (and not having the wife kill me in my sleep) I would

Kris was super great to deal with as well, so buy with confidence!

Cheers,
Ross

I don't need another bass, I don't need another bass, I don't need another bass, I don't need another bass, I don't need another bass, I don't need another bass, I don't need another bass, I don't need another bass.....

Free bump for a sweet-looking bass! And it's a pound lighter than my L-2500. Nice!

Price drop and added EBMM Big Al SSS for acceptable trades!

Bump!

I got the "ain't got nuttin' t' trade 'ecpt sumpin you don't don't want" blues.

It's a beauty, wish I had the cash.

Kristopher · #10 10-20-2010, 01:57 PM

Ok kids! This is it! Final price drop to $950 paypal shipped. If this doesn't sell at this price, I'm keeping it.

Can somebody chime in and describe some tonal differences between an L2500, a Fender Roscoe Beck V, and a Warwick Streamer $$ (swamp ash and maple)? They're all 2-humbucker basses with versatile switching. Can they cover much of the same tonal ground as each other?

Kristopher · #12 10-20-2010, 02:19 PM

Not familiar with the other basses, but my G&L has three switches: 1) neck pickup, bridge pickup, both pickups 2) series, parallel 3) passive, active, and active with treble boost. There are three knobs: 1) volume 2) treble cut 3) bass cut. Can't get much more versatile.

Last bump before I retire the thread for awhile.

Looks like a beaut!

What is the nut width, and fingerboard radius?

Thanks!

Kristopher · #15 11-04-2010, 01:20 AM

The info should be the same as listed here: G&L website L-2500 specs page.

Nut width: 1 3/4"
Radius: 12"

lownotedoc · #16 11-04-2010, 05:23 PM

Thanks. Really looking for the 9" radius. Someone else will be lucky to wrap their fingers around this one.

Kristopher · #17 11-04-2010, 05:29 PM

I believe all the 5-string G&L L-2500 basses have the same radius. I think the 4-strings are the ones that have the option for different neck specs.

And yes, the bass is still available to all who may be interested!

ALL G&L 5 strings have a 12" radius board.

Too bad that you are not looking for an immaculate Warwick Infinity SN5.
