I had the rattling tuning peg head problem on my G&l. You can buy a drop in replacement from G&L for $17.99

For sale is a 2020 G&L L-2500 5-String Bass with Rosewood Fretboard in Shoreline Gold. Would love to sell locally (Twin Cities area) but would be willing to ship for $100.

Specs:
Alder body
Quartersawn Maple neck with an Indian Rosewood fretboard, 12" radius
34" Scale
Nut width: 1-3/4"
SCM Single Coil Option: 3-way Series/Split/Parallel switch that allows pickups to be split for single or dual coil
Includes black Tolex G&L hardshell case
Weight: 9 lbs. 11 oz.

Condition:
There are a couple of slight indents on the back of the neck from the first to the fifth fret. I could not capture these in pictures. The head of the tuning peg for the G string also rattles sometimes. Besides these two issues, the bass is in great condition and sounds and plays amazing.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!

Possible rhetorical question, but sure the post's nut doesn't just need to be tightened?

I can check in on that and get back to you tomorrow.

Just to verify for you and others who are looking at this bass - I don't think that anything needs to be tightened it's just the clover head part of the tuning peg that is loose where it connects to the shaft. Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have any other questions or need clarification.

How is the low B on this bass? I have an L2000 with SCM and love it, and have been wanting to try a 5 string. My main 5 strings are 35" scale (Mike Lull, Lakland), and I have had some 34" 5's in the past where the B didn't feel right to me. The low B on the Stingray and Music Man 25th Anniversary I had were both weak, while the B on my Bongo 5 is fine. I won't be doing any downtuning or modern metal or anything, but do go down to the B quite a bit (modern country, also p&w). Thanks!

I thought the USA/CLFs had the metal plate on the control cavity.

I believe that the non CLF USA L-2500s have continued to use plastic covers.

Are you only considering 5 strings?

Is this a CLF Research build or not?
