Consecutive serial numbers

[Bugspray]

I've owned my 1981 G&L L1000 for several years and was hoping to eventually get a same year L2000. One popped up on an online store so I pulled the trigger and it was one number higher than my L1000! I thought it was pretty cool Still cleaning it up so excuse the missing knobs and strap buttons.

Have seen one a hundred or so close to mine for sale online but your "pair" can't really be beat. Enjoy them.

They are friends from kindergarten

Without seeing the serial#, I don’t believe it.

Brother from another mother, or sister from another mister? Very cool

From the G&L registry. You can blow up the photo on your phone.

Congrats on your pair of G&Ls OP! I’m impressed that you were able to find the bass with the next consecutive serial number! Play them both in good health and have fun!

On these, the serial numbers are stamped on the bridge

Exactly! If you blow up the photos of the basses you can make them out. At least I can.

Nice. That L2K is sweet, grats.

But that Trans Green L-1000 has all the cool factors rolled into one enchilada. Color me GREEN with envy!

I can't tell by the pic, but if you tell me that's a green hog body, I'm gonna find out where you live and commandeer it!

It's swamp ash.

Well that's a relief.

My question is, were the basses constructed consecutively or were the bridges pulled randomly from a parts bin and installed on basses constructed at different times? Either way it's very cool.

Sounds more like the bass found him.

So...all my basses are ones I made. As I'm the manufacturer of them, if I wanted to put serial numbers on them, they would all be consecutive.

How much better would they sound? Whaddya think?

Thanks, they apparently were completed at different times rather than being consecutive.
