FT: 82 'Hog/Rosewood L-2000E
I have really decided I miss having a Tbird and I don't want to go into debt. I REALLY dig this bass and don't want to let her go unless the right T-Bird comes along (Pref. a burst color). So...here goes:
Mahogany body, tobaccoburst finish, rosewood fretboard. The maple neck has some nice figuring and birdseye; nut width is 1 11/16". Headstock is the old school original style, and the neck has the walnut skunk stripe. Body has some finish checking and some player wear. I believe the finish is poly. The control plate, bridge, battery cover and neck plate have the smooth black finish. All switch tips are intact, and the correct hard-to-find control knobs are bight and shiny. Weight is slightly over 10lbs on my fish scales. Hangs nicely and balances well. Feels lighter on the shoulder than you might expect. All in all a really sweet example of a very early L-2000.
These early Leo Fender era G&L's are really something. This bass has thunder for days and lots of definition. Neck is comfortable, no rough fret ends, Frets look great - plenty of fret life. Action is low with no buzzing. Neck is straight with no issues.
