Advice on where to find the older G&L L-2000 series E basses

Hello, i am new here.
I am a singer songwriter who plays bass as well.
I have a small home studio where i record my original material.
A good friend gave me his fender squire p-bass, 20th anniversary.
He swapped out the original pickups and put a few aguilar jazz pickups in.
The sound isn't bad actually, keep in mind that this is only for recording.
But... the friend that gave me the p-bass usually plays an older G&L L-20000 series E,
and wow, this bass is not only a dream to play because of the low action, but the sounds i can get from all the switches lol
Its really a rock solid instrument.
Because i am not a full-time bassist, i definitely need something that plays with ease.
Ive been looking around online at used sites, and they seem very hard to come by ?
Little by little i have collected the gear i really want, and the G&L is one of them.
Any advice out there as to where i can look for the older G&L L-2000 series E ?
any help would be awesome, thanks a lot,
Derek.

 

I appreciate all of the kind replies, and pointing me in the right direction
I just snagged an L-2000 series E and I am excited.
Now I have to figure out the date from the serial number because I’m not thrilled with taking the neck off.
It also seems like the small colored toggle caps are missing, anyone know where i could buy a few ?

 

I actually went down there to play that one it was great, but i was trying to get one from 1981 or 82, and for a little less money.

 

That’s great, thank you.
There’s something cool about those colored switches;-)

 

Yes i am excited, i have been looking for the right wood combination, color and in good condition, with a price i can afford lol
My guess is this is a 1981 or 82, either way i am happy as a clam.Now you have me searching for spare preamps lol

 

just ordered them, thanks again !!!

 

So the bass arrived today and the preamp doesn't work :-(
I changed the battery just to make sure.
So I'm waiting for the seller to get back to me.
In the meantime, how expensive and how hard is it to find an original L-2000 preamp ?

 

meaning when i have it in the preamp on position, there is no sound
