Serial confirms it was made in 97 or 98. Is $1000 an unreasonable price for a deluxe made in this era?

I've come across this jazz, but I am a little bit confused about this particular model, and my search for information has left me even more confused. https://www.dropbox.com/s/s65utk5lbuwl6fq/%24T2eC16ZHJI!E9qSO9evfBQ!G!vZ-e!~~60_57.JPG...

No, it's in Norway, So, barring some crazy coincidence, it's not from the same source. :)

I'm very grateful for the responses, and I'm obviously not buying it. My savings account will probably be the means to which I buy my first double bass, rather than an impulse! Thanks!

Hi! I've been wanting to start playing double bass for a while, and have been on the lookout for something affordable to start with. Then I came across this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link...

No, not in a good way. There's something weird going on with my G&L l2000 tribute that I can pinpoint. I'll be taking her to a luthier Monday if I haven't figured it out during the weekend, so thought I'd ask you guys first. Everything sounds muddy and non-defined. There's really not much...

Thanks for the responses, I actually ended up with the Lowdown 110. Thought I'd share what happened, for those interested. This might sound weird, but I thought the Lowdown was as good as, or even slightly better than, the GK mb112. No affordable Markbass models were available where I live, and...

I'll be traveling to gigs a lot, and I'm going to buy a nice portable amp. These are all pretty large venues, so I'll play on house PA. I had halfway decided on the Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110, which sound real nice, has nice amp modeling and a practical built-in direct out. Turns out my...

Thanks guys. I tried to tie weights onto a capo and put it on the headstock, it actually improved it quite a bit. I can live with it, it isn't annoying at all when playing live or rehearsing with bands.

After researching a bit more(which I should've done prior to creating this thread), many L2000's have dead spots this exact place, so that's obviously the problem. Thanks guys. Also makes me remember that I had a severe deadspot on a P-bass I owned. :o Anybody got any experience with the...

Hi, Ever since I picked up my L-2000 tribute I've noticed that when playing the 5-7th frets on the g string, the sustain is way shorter than on all other frets. After fingering i.e the 7th fret, which is the most severe one, only the harmonics sound after a very short while. It's the same on...

That is something I'd really like to hear too!

I must admit that I do not hear that much of a difference in different mixes with different wood types that I've worked with. But evidently it can impact the sound greatly, and of course I don't disagree with you guys. I've only recently become exclusively a bass player from beeing the guy who...

Wow, you really feel it made that much of a difference, only because of the wood type? I feel that most of the tonal differences can be compensated for with a little EQing (in the mix of course).

I sure will! :) By the way, anybody tried flats on the L2K?
