FS: G&L BABP LE L2000 - Blackburst Finish

[Phantasm]

Christmas comes and goes, but the credit card woes of 2009 remain. In order to pay penance for the new amp and cab purchases of the past few months, I've got to put a few things up for sale including my G&L BABP LE L2000 bass. I don't want to sell this bass, and whoever buys it will have a very nice instrument in excellent condition.

This instrument was a limited edition of 23 that were made. It's got the last of the ebony fingerboards that G&L sold for their basses. More information is available from the website that this edition was created for:

We are thrilled to announce the alliance with BadAssBassPlayers.com, G&L Guitars, and Guitar Man, to collectively bring the members, what we set out to deliver to members here back in January, with our trip to NAMM 07’. We have been working in the background with selected fellow members, Jim Green (spideyjg) Ken Baker, Jack Slattery (Templar), Mike Childree, Tris Carpenter (dukeplaysbass), Brad Dell (bdgotoh), and Garry Nutt, with a boat load of killer ideas, and I thank them all from the heart, for their expertise, insight, and knowledge. We decided to have G&L build a U.S.A. L2000, 4 string bass. This very special Limited Edition bass, will have 2 G&L Magnetic Field Design pickups, G&L Tri-Tone active/passive electronics, 3-way mini-toggle pickup selector for parallel / single coil / series switching (a stock L2K is parallel / series), preamp control mini-toggle (off/on/on with high end EQ boost), hard rock #8 (12” radius board, 1½” width at the nut) maple neck, a fretted ebony board sans fret markers, but with side position markers, Custom G&L "Ultra-Lite" with aluminum tapered string posts, an incredible translucent Black Burst finish over a swamp ash body, and a painted black headstock with the BABP’s logo at the end, all chrome hardware, and will ship in a G&L molded case. While G&L was willing to go where only Klingons have explored (did you like that Dave Mc? B^) ), with configurations and options, we decided that our first L.E. needed to be special enough with the switching and finish options, exclusive to members, while maintaining affordability. And simply BAD ASS.

Again this bass is in excellent shape and comes with OHSC and case candy. The finish is beautiful and blackburst is a custom finish.

$1200 shipped CONUS. No overseas buyers, please. NO TRADES, PLEASE.

Free bump for a bass that I've been lusting after for quite a while. Sure wish I had the $$.

I gotta sell my 1997 Wenge Warwick Thumb BO fiver so I can buy a versatile beast like this!

Ahhh... so beautiful looking and sounding. I've wished many a time that they would have made a few of these as 5-stringers.

They made a LE for the same site after this one that was a 5-string, I believe. The ebony fingerboard was not an option for those basses though. These basses are supposed to have the last ebony fingerboards on a G&L (according to the site.)

Smokin' hot bass !!! Free bump for this beauty !!!

[Phantasm]

Close, but... No Sale. Bump!

Get it while you can boys! I have one and really love it. The single coil option is cool and the looks speak loudly enough with out further comment. Like all G&Ls, it just feels right in the hands.

Good luck on the sale!
