One of a kind- G&L L2000 fretless- Bowling Ball Finish!

[El Tookay]

I`m still on the fence about this one, so I`m pretty firm on the price. 1996 G&L L2000 in the uncommon black swirl- bowling ball finish with an unlined ebony board. I do believe this is the one of only one that G&L did. Flamey neck, original case, set up nice and growly low with DR SunBeams. All stock with the exception of a three-way switch to give OMG, single coil and parallel, also known as k-switching. Original two-way switch included. Ebony board has no gouges or grooves, and has been (unfortunately) played very little, big warm sound from both pickups, nice j-ish fart when the bridge pup soloèd in single coil neck pup nails the sound of `Hey `You`by Pink Floyd in OMG.

Bass has no issues or stories, the finish is in great shape with ony a tiny bit of clear-coat liftage around the bridge, very, very clean, neck has a few minor `pits`in the back that do not affect playability. No disappointments here, just full disclosure. Ships in the stock G&L molded case. $800 + shipping in Canada and the U.S. I`ll consider overseas, as long as you are willing to pay for insured shipping and all VAT and duties.

Again, I`m not sure I really want to sell this one, so I am firm on my price. Trade-wise, I'm not wild about super skinny necks, but open to offers, StingRay 5, Sterling HS, top-loader G&L slot poles go to the front of the line, as do Interceptors. Would also consider 5'er G&L's. Thunderbird offers welcome.

I`ll post more and better pics tomorrow, but here`s a teaser, wearing black tape-wounds, which are also included.

I've played this bass personally and it is AWESOME.....if only I had the cash bump to an awesome guy and bass.

I've had a few questions, so I'll post the answers-

Truss rod is 100 percent. Neck measures 1- 11/16 at the nut, very thin around the back. Version 1.0 pre-amp with no issues. The ebony fingerboard is one freakin' HUGE slab, and the position markers on the side are on the 'fret' position, not like a de-fretted bass. Hey, if anybody has any other questions, pm me, and I'll answer as fast as I can.

Now, some fresh porn!

Flamey!

No buckle rash or hacks, etc...SMOOOOOOOOTH!

Last two...ebony board in excellent shape, and the liftage around the bridge. Hard to see, ain't it?

I've never seen anything like it. How is it to slap on a G&L fretless? I've been looking for a fretless Stingray 5er due to being blown away by how good it sounds to slap em. But I'm also a tried and true G&L advocate only have never yet tried a G&L fretless.

Lotsa ebony on that neck, big, bright slap tone. I like the Tony Franklin/ Pino Palladino sound, and this one nails it, but with huge balls. Currently set up with SunBeams, it growls like a Siberian tiger. Did I mention the K switch, so you can get the single coil Jaco fart?

Top again. A few interesting trade offers, but still available for now.
