<<FS: G&L BABP LE2500K Unmarked Maple Fretboard and Single Coil Option>>

[worxforme]

These basses were specially built for the BABP Forum and this one plays and looks outstanding.

It is in great condition with some surface swirls and a few small scratches on the back that were there back when I traded a 2008 Fender J5 plus $$ and paid for shipping for both basses with jmattis here on TB.

I've played it several gigs after I had it set up at Elderly Instruments and it's ready to be played by it's new master.

2008 G&L BABP Limited Edition L2500K. I believe these are limited to one of maybe 23 made. I got that information from Chef in a PM a while back but I can't verify it with G&L.

I traded for this one because of the unmarked maple board and the limited/beautiful nature of the bass. The body is Blackburst over ash, beautiful with no fret dots. (has side markers) It has a Maple fret board I think all 2500's are 12" radius maple necks. Weight is 9.9 on the bathroom digital scale.

The single coil option adds a Jazz bass sound and with the pre amp on, it's a "Super Jazz" sound. It also has the zillion other G&L2500 tones so it covers about anything.

As I'm trying to down size my arsenal I am moving to a P for this hot band that I got picked up by(for the P bass look). In true Frank fashion I have already bought two Ps so I want to sell this one before my wife leaves me.


It has some small scratches/pick marks and a couple of tiny marks yet you would have to inspect it to see anything. If the sun is out tomorrow I will take a few shots of the imperfections.

Also, I've had several people inquire that haven't played a L2500 before and I think it's always best to try one before you buy one. Try a USA model because I believe the imports may have a different radius? (not sure)

Yup... want this bass but hate being poor at the moment. Insurance is sending me a diminished value claim though since my car got hit by another driver.. I hope this is still available then.

Sorry, I may have described it incorrectly. It's fretted with no fret dots. Markers are on the side so I should have said undotted?

I'm not sure but I am sure that of the L2500's this is the best playing and most versatile one. The L2500 can be thunderous which is great, yet with the maple neck and the K option there is a whole other word of sound at your fingers.

FWIW: I actually hate every new bass and amp/cab when I first get them, it takes me a few times to get into the new relationship and I check out every little pimple before I settle in to what it's for, to be played (I'm sure others are like that, after all you spent your hard earned $$ etc.) With this bass the bonding curve was shorter than any other bass.

I totally get this. I had a 55-02 and an L-2500. I was looking to trade the G&L because I liked the Lakland that much. An opportunity came up and I traded the Lakland and kept the G&L. I'm convinced I made the correct decision. I would love to have a fretless L-2500 now.

Thanks.

[worxforme]

I have 2 deals in the worx.

As soon as it sells I will close the thread.

[worxforme]

Bass is sold and headed to Ohio.

I hate that people were racing to get the funds to buy this bass as I wish everyone who wanted it could have it.

Thanks for all the inquiries and remember my motto, "There's always another one."
