FS/FT USA G&L L2000

**TALL&STOUT** · #1 08-25-2010, 10:46 PM

Hey guys, some how I let the GAS get the best of me and I have a few too many basses at the moment. I would like to sell, but would also look at a trade as well if the right piece came along (Lakland 44-01, 44-02, 55-01, 55-02 or a solid Jazz bass, Tobias Growler, Cirrus, basses from 1993, 5 stingers are great, anything with a WENGE neck!!!) If I do a trade, I gotta see the WOOD!

American made G&L L2000 in black. Has players wear and tear, but overall in good shape and still sounds huge. It is a 1987 wit the 1 1/2" nut width. I picked this up from a producer who moved to Hawaii for $520, so I got a smokin' deal. Just had her setup at Guitar Trader here in San Diego two weeks ago with brand new DR DDT strings (tuned for drop C). We also threw a new black input jack in. Intonation is good and she thumps.

2 things to note; I can visually see a slight dip in the neck between 13 and 16 on the g string side, but can't feel it. The active preamp has been pulled (I don't know why, maybe the producer guy wanted it to be only passive for that "P bass " sound). All knobs and switches work, other than the switch that goes between active and passive.

The weight is right around 9.2 pounds according to my scale. The frets still have a lot of life in them, no dimples, but there is some wear. The neck has a gloss finish and there are a few nicks on the back of the neck and headstock with a ding directly opposite the 1st fret.

Seeing as how I have put a few more $ into her, I would like ~~$600~~ ~~$575~~ $540 shipped CONUS in a gig bag. Cheers!

I have an L2000 from this era, and it is the most massive ballsy sounding four string I've ever laid hands on. And many have passed through my hands. Excellent bass!

I fully agree. Leo did something special with the G&Ls.

Does it have the pre-amp??? You said all the "knobs and switches work".
Or is it just disconnected?

Mike, she works as a 100% passive bass as the 9v preamp is gone. One of the knobs is push/pull for active/passive and it does nothing to the sound (call it a passive/passive). All the other knobs and switches function correctly.

On a stock L2000, it is the third SWITCH that acts as the "passive/active/active with treble boost" switch, and not a push/pull pot. Do all 3 switches still do something? if so, maybe he modded it to have seperate coil switches for each pickup?

You are correct, it is a switch, not a push/pull (I am at the office without the bass in front of me). I know for sure that the bass and treble cut controls work and the volume knob works. Also pickup selector: neck pickup, both pickups, bridge pickup and series/parallel selector: series towards neck, parallel towards bridge.

Did I mention that this was only $540 shipped???

Hi-
I would do paypal $500.00 or
My MM Sterling with $250.00 on your end or
My basically new (Mint, but I'm not digging the more "jazz" sound) Lakland Skyline Decade and $350.00 on your end.

Two questions: the dip in the neck- does it affect the straightness of the neck above those frets?? Is the pre amp gone, or just disconnected?
Thanks-
Lee
