If I were in Portland, green sparkle may be more attractive.
but not many of these even show up stateside.
good detective work on the search

I had the Vintage Vault Nation one up briefly. Facebook is not a legitimate marketplace by any stretch, so I took it down pretty fast. The whole thing was fishy.
The guitarsbyleo G&L Collection sale is pretty old too, I think. Unless someone can verify that's still for sale. Otherwise, it won't be included in the roundup.
The Portland one has gone WAY down in price, and it might be a good opportunity to check it out.

I might sell my fretless L5000. Any interest if that one gets put up on this board?
The one on the right - because it lacks frets. (Duh)

Thanks for this thread.
? Might you pm me with a feeler price to see if I can afford to be interested in your fretless?

This week's roundup (4/17/2015) - Nothing new in terms of listings. The Irish one in particular is starting to get a bit old, and the Basschat UK one isn't moving. Also, is anyone considering jumping on the Portland one?:

This week's roundup (4/24/2015) - Nothing new. I think someone should jump on the Portland one already, it's been sitting here for months and the price has only gone down:

This week's roundup (5/1/2015) - Looks like the BassChat UK one sold ("Please remove"). Anyone know what's going on with our Portland one or the Irish one? No new listings found though.

We now have one on ebay (in Seattle, WA):
1989 90 G L L 500 5 String Bass w Gig Bag | eBay
Wrongly advertised as "L-500".
Black, maple neck.
Sickle headstock.
Apparently stringed with Thomastik.
Looks gorgeous and as new.

well this is exactly what I was looking for a few months ago, Black and maple L5000.
Unfortunately, I got impatient and bought an offshore Zon RTK at the same price and I'm at my limit of how many basses I can tend to.
Not to mention my loyalties are now divided.
This is a beauty and I really hope it goes to a nice home. and relatively soon.

Very good find, especially considering the wrong model #! This one must have just come on the market over the weekend, I didn't see it when I did my Friday AM eBay search for "G&L 5-string".

This week's roundup (5/8/2015) - Thanks to Glazenn, we found a black & maple one on eBay last weekend. Also, I wanna know if anyone is interested in these other L5000s. They've been lingering forever now. The Portland one is just sitting there.
