Fretless G&L?

[jdthecrazy]

Whats up? I am the proud owner of a early 90's G&L L-2000. I love this bass, it is my workhorse. A couple years ago I bought a fretless Warwick Corvette, and I also love this bass. Since I love my G&L so much, I was wondering what everyone thought of the Fretless G&L's. I've never played, or even seen one in person. Do they stack up?

Excellent bass. I have a L2500 fretless. With the pickup and active/passive options, you won't be at a loss to find the fretless sound you are looking for.

I have a fretless L-2000 that I just cant say enough great things about. It does justice to everything. If you give me an idea of the kind of EQ you like and where I could host some sound clips I can record you a few clips.

I agree with Hotblack. My new fretless L-2500 is very nice. I just put TI flats on it that are still breaking in. It has the flexibility to go from old school thump to post-Jaco modern "mwah" and a few points in between.

Same here. TI Superalloys on mine (yeah, I know, they're round wounds). The ebony boards are pretty hard and so far I've had very little scratching

Thanks for the replies. I'm sure they sound great. I was wondering how they play, what the options are, and the best place to get one. I use rounds on my fretless too. I do really love my L-2000. I got it when I was a junior in high school, and now I'm 30. I've bought 4 basses since then, all but one more expensive, and I always go back to the G&L. Go figure. I think if I got a fretless L-2000 I could get rid of the rest.
