You can select just the bridge single coil for super bridge pup burp, play with your picking hand over the bridge pup with both bridge/neck pups on for bridge heavy tone or with your picking hand over the neck pup for just a slight bark of bridge coil burp.
IMO these are some of the most versatile basses on the market and with the single coil option added it makes them just that much more versatile.
Select the neck pup in single coil/series/parallel for a whole bunch of pbass and woody tones. |

I've owned 4 American G&L basses since the mid 1980s (L-1000, ASAT, L-2500, L-2000) and I couldn't agree more. Tonally they are so versatile. Ironically I just played my Gold Metalflake L-2000 (maple fretboard) today at practice for the first time with this current group. I put a set of TI Jazz Rounds on it last night and was floored by how many sounds I was dialing in today.
I'm typically a Fender Jazz player and my L-2000 has the jazz-sized neck. I was wondering to myself today why I would really bother playing my other basses as much when the G&L produces such a variety of tones and is so beautifully made. The L-2000 also produces harmonically rich tones. Fit and finish are first rate. Others in the group commented they "really like that bass".
Yours is truly a beautiful example of the L-2000 and should make the eventual buyer very happy.
