Details

G&L Tribute M2000 GTB in excellent condition. These (GTB) were limited are no longer available. I had Mo at Nordstrand round over the fret edges, level the frets, and file the nut. He set this up for C# tuning with heavy strings. I didn’t care for this bass setup like that so installed 45-105 Dunlop SS in standard tuning. That being said, the action is VERY low. I didn’t want to change anything so I left it like this. Loosening the truss rod or heavier strings would bring it up if needed without raising the saddles. When I received this it had no finish on the back of the neck. I finished it with gunstock oil and wax, just like EBMM basses. Very nice looking and playing bass, I just have too many right now and this one doesn’t get played over my US L2000.

What makes it limited? Does it have features the regular m series tribute didn't have?

Interesting. Would you have a weight? Also, any dead notes on the G string? Thank!

Please explain what a carved top refers to as I'm not familiar with the term. And the weight if possible?

The top is contoured, similar to a Les Paul. Check out the video below of a L2500 with a carved top. I believe the weight was around 9.3 lbs when I weighed it a year ago but I can’t find my scale right now. I’ll try to get an accurate weight ASAP.

Thanks for the reply George, I mean Cantstandsya. Very nice Sienfeld touch. Is it just the photo's or is the chrome on the bridge where the E string ties in have some chrome damage, as well as with the A string tuning machines' base?

I’ll take a look at it later today.

I don’t see any damage to the chrome. There are some small spots of discoloration that I could only see in the close up pictures below. I think what you’re seeing in the original photos is a reflection.

This was supposed to be going to the guitarist in my band but I ended up selling him a different bass. Back up for trade, but local (Southern California) only. Shipping costs are just too high. With what I’d make on it, I’d rather keep it. I’m open to anything- 4,5 or 6 string. Amps, pedals, MacBooks, cash. PM with offers. Willing to add cash for the right bass. Especially if you have an L2000 or M2000 with a 1.5” nut width.
