Details

84’ G&L L-2000, Natural wood w/ dark stain and rosewood board, 1 3/4" at the nut, #B014018, 9.5#'s, 9/10 condition (amazing for 25yrs old the finish is nearly perfect) very SWEET bass, one sticky tuning key that does fully function, just not as smooth as the others. $825/shipped w/HSC, DROPPED $800/shipped

MIA G&L L-2000, Orangeburst/Maple, '04 I think, 8-9/10condition, 1.5" at the nut, which would make it a #6 or #8, I believe it to be a #6 but am not 100% sure. $725/shipped w/OHSC, DROPPED $700/shipped

Condition ratings are always subjective so my explanation of 8-9/10, is simply this: light play wear, pick swirling etc, no dings, checking or scratches that can't be rubbed out, functional pots, rod and keys.

Disclosure:
Both basses have been sitting for most of the past 12-24mos, so the strings are oldish and they have been skipped on set-up for a few weather changes here in Michigan (yes, we have to worry about that here) so set-up will be needed.
I play various drop tunings which these were set-up for some time ago. I've pulled both out and given a run through before posting, tuned them both back to 'E' and the action is way high, so being that most of us are picky about our set-ups/strings I decided not to put more money into them that would simply need to be passed on. I feel I have considered this in the prices.


Trades:
- Early L2KE, no eye gouger and maple only
- Early MM- Ray or Sabre, maple only
- Rics (possibly)

Thanks, but no interest in the L5.

Weight is right at 9lbs on both.

Honestly, I am not sure at all. My wood knowledge is shaky at best...

Oh, that's a 'hog body. VERY 'hog! How's the neck- any ski jump around the 18-21 fret? Sound-wise is it more of a deep tone dub groover/ R&B houserocker, or is it more of a bright tone? Mahogany can do both.

...........hmmm, there's an empty slot in the rack o' basses....


Any interest in a natural finish 84 El Toro?

I have never noticed an issue with the neck, but will double check the area in the morning. I also plan to add more detailed pics, per a few requests.

Sound-wise I say it is "more of a deep tone dub groover/ R&B houserocker".

Definitely interested in details and pics of the Toro!
Is it a Toro -E? Maple?

I'm getting questions about my "high action" statement.
- The action is high because I had them set up DGCF, which they were perfect in, but with putting them on the market I tuned them back to standard which brought the action up simply from the added tension. These need nothing more than a simple set-up.

Drops:
'84- $800/shipped
'04- $700/shipped
