G&L L2000 Custom Shop FS

Sign in to disble this ad
SOLD!!!

Not a double post- had to repost it!!! added a sale price (see below)
MINT!!
Greenburst over flame maple top (back is greenburst as well- not just black).
Ash body.
Matching greenburst headstock
Ebony fingerboard with no face dots. Ebony is NOT offered as an option for a fretted bass- somehow this one got it- maybe before they stopped offering it???
"Gun oil" tint on back of neck.
Natural body binding.
"Jazz" neck (#6???)
HipShot D-Tuner (and original tuner)
The WAY cool mod: Middle 3 way switch wired like this-
facing rear= both inner coils on pick-ups
middle= classic G&L parallel
forward= two outer coils (VERY PJ like in passive mode)
Combined with the pick-up selector, you can choose any coil of the four by itself, and with the active/passive/active w/treb boost. you get a ton of tones.

I have a "half" clear guard I made myself, it's on with double sided tape (like Sadowsky uses). I'll leave it on, you can take it off if you would like.

Plays like a million bucks! But will cost you much less!!!
List on this bass would be $3000- Street would be in the mid $2K
You want pics!!! You got em'!!!!

CASH OFFERS!!!!!
OR: $1300 o.b.o
I'll do shipping or PayPal-NOT both.
No trades unless it falls more on my end value wise.
Sorry!

Sound samples of the pick-up coil mod (sorry for the crap-tastic playing, I just threw it down in one pass):
http://www.garageband.com/artist/mikebassTB/songs
In order:
both pick-ups in parallel
front coil of neck pick-up
rear coil of neck pick-up
both coils of neck pick-up

rear coil of bridge pick-up
front coil of bridge pick-up
both coils of bridge pick-up

front of neck/rear of bridge
rear of neck/front of bridge



On to the pictures!!!....

Look at that....all most like a big grassy field with the wind blowin' through it making lines....


See, the drapes do match the carpet.......


Man...ebony.....looks like freshly laid black top doesn't it??? Make you just want to drive fast!!!!


Like looking down from the tower from a Navy destroyer.......just light them suckers up!!!! BOOM!!!!!!!


HEY!!! No lookin' up her back side!!!!! (nice huh?!?!)


Like the chrome on a 57' Chevy's bumper........


Not every picture can be the best (taken with my cell phone). It's not as dark as it is in the picture.
Exactly like the ones above.

My scale isn't exactly the best.

That might be the sexiest G&L I've ever seen... I love that color. Would go great with my blueburst L2500...
