Thinking about an L2500...

I'm looking to add a 5 banger back into my life, and the L2500 is on the short list. I've searched and read every thread that came up on the subject I am about to bring up, and I still don't have a lot of useful (to me) information, so I was hoping to get a little input. I have to have a growly, aggressive sound to be happy, and while I've read that G&Ls can be just that, I want to know just how aggressive and growly they can be. I listened to the clips on the G&L webpage (no help, all slap), and I don't have anywhere close at hand to try one out. I currently get a growl like such with my ATK--can I expect a similar amount of growl (if more, all the better) out of an L2500? Thanks.

I don't how you recorded that, but if you think it illustrates your growl, then you'll be very very happy with the l2500

That'll do, thanks!

L2500 on record

This one is quite nice:

My few G&L L2500 groove clips to share with you!

Much oblige! Those definitely help me out a lot more than the G&L clips.

I like my tones the same way you do, as my primary is a Warwick, and I just purchased an L-2000. Before I bought it I listened to all of those clips (and a few more) and I have to say that the sound is even a bit more aggressive than I was expecting. I don't think you will be disappointed at all.
