For Sale: G&L Tribute L2500

wushuguy · #1 01-16-2010, 09:22 AM

I'm selling my L2500 in Sunburst/Rosewood. I bought this about a year and a half ago, and have pretty much had a sabbatical from playing bass since. I was hoping to hang on to this, but I need to fund a new camera purchase.

The bass is in excellent condition, plays great, and sounds awesome. The person I bought it from added copper foil on control cavity plate and changed the strings to DR Sunbeams. Included is the original G&L gig bag. I'm selling for $470 shipped OBO. Now $440 shipped. Last price drop - $420 shipped. Lower 48 states only please.

Here are a couple of older pictures. I'm going to be out of town until late tomorrow. I will put up some newer pics then.

What does just the bass weigh?

wushuguy · #4 01-17-2010, 06:22 PM

I just got back into town. According to the bathroom scale, the weight is 9.8 lbs.

I'll have some pics up soon. Maybe tomorrow if the lighting is not good right now. But it still looks exactly the same as the older pics above.

Hmm... I will certainly think about this one.

Great bass at a really good price bump!

Neck is extremely comfortable (assuming you like a thick neck) and the low B is really solid on the Trib series. At least it is on mine.

No connection to seller, never played that exact bass...just a friendly "I like my Trib" bump.

Here's a few more pics. Sorry for the bad quality. I'm a terrible photographer, and we are having a storm right now, so there is no natural light.

Price drop

I used to own 3 USA G&L's - L2500, L2000 and an L2000 fretless. This is tempting. Tributes have the same electronics as the USA models, right? How "thick" is the neck? I don't remember.

wushuguy · #10 01-19-2010, 11:10 AM

Yep, same electronics as the USA models. According to the G&L website, the neck is a 9" radius. http://www.glguitars.com/instruments...2500/index.asp

On mine, measuring from the 5th fret, the neck is just under 7/8 inches thick (from the top of the fretboard, to the back of the neck). I used to own a USA L2500. As far as I can remember, this bass feels pretty much the same.

Back to the top

I'm really hoping a couple of things come together very soon. I'm definitely in the market for an L-2500.

wushuguy · #13 01-20-2010, 10:43 PM

I hope they come together very soon as well.

I've had a number of people show interest, but nothing concrete yet, so this is still available.

MichaelVee · #15 01-22-2010, 08:08 PM

I currently have the exact same L-2500 Trib, and I have to say it's one of my favorites. I've had mine for just under a year, and still getting to know it. What a fine instrument for the money! And that's a beautiful grain pattern in the wood- better than mine.

$440 is a great price. If anyone's on the fence- get off and buy this gem!

kjpollo · #16 01-22-2010, 09:30 PM

Wish I could help with the camera purchase and I also wish you were taking trades!

Bump for a bass high on my GAS list!

Selta · #17 01-22-2010, 11:54 PM

Wow. Good price! Wish I could justify a backup to my USA L-2500...

wushuguy · #18 01-23-2010, 09:33 PM

Thanks guys. This bass is indeed nice. If I was actually playing bass, there is no way I would get rid of it. I regretted getting rid of my USA L2500. I'm sure I'll regret getting rid of this one as well. But I really want this camera. :P

Last price drop. If this doesn't sell, I'm just going to hang on to it. So... last call.

kful · #19 01-23-2010, 11:19 PM

Okay, okay, I'll take it! PM coming....
