Details to follow. Yesterday (Saturday) I went to Bass Player Live in Hollywood. One of the vendors was N-Tune, they make onboard tuners that fit under your volume knob. (Cool product BTW) They were having a drawing for an L2500 with their product installed and I won. I need to arrange for it to be delivered or picked up and I will post pix.

What color is it? | To be honest, I'm not sure yet. I think it is a natural finish with a maple fingerboard. I saw the ones they had at BPL but I don't know which won they are giving me. I will probably be picking it up on Thursday.

I just picked it up tonight. It is exactly like my L2K, but who's complaining? Now I just need to learn to play it.

But anyhow, how does the tuner work anyways? Seems convenient. Does it work well? What power source does it run on? Is it better than a pedal tuner? |

But this one is pretty simple to use. All you do is pull the volume knob out. The yellow light indicates the key, red when you're out of tune and green represents when you're in tune. It comes with the modified volume knob and a battery connection. However, since the L2500 is active they used the existing battery, and I am told the tuner doesn't require much power, so as long as you don't leave the bass plugged in the battery should last you for about a year.
It came installed, so I don't know how hard it is to install, but they say it's pretty simple to do.

| Wowzers.. congrats man!
It looks like a bigger cousin to my fretless L-1500, she's a natural too.

Like to hear about your experiences with the tuner after you've used it for awhile.
