SOLD FS: G&L L-2000 fretless (#8 jazz-like neck)

Hey Y'all,

This is an absolutely wonderful bass. I picked it up a short time ago and really love the range of tones and the feel of the G&L #8 neck (1.5" wide at the nut, 12" fretboard radius) with unlined ebony fingerboard. But I have another G&L fretless and the almost-acoustic group I was working on fretless chops for is in the process of dissolving. So I really can't justify keeping two sweet fretless basses around without a group to play them in (if I get me intonation good enough to play them in public, that its). So this bass, as much as I like it, is on the block.

- recent G&L L-2000 (6-bolt neck)
- looks like alder under sunburst
- satin finished maple bicut neck
- unlined ebony fingerboard
- standard L2K electronics (dual MFD humbuckers, vol/treble/bass knobs, pickup selector, series/parallel and active/passive switches
- G&L molded case
- COA/case candy
- 8.something pounds

It's in great shape - no scratches/dings/chips/gouges/etc. It has been played but I'd call it "excellent" condition. It's currently wearing D'addario Chromes (I really like those on this bass).

Skinny necked G&Ls can be hard to come by - and fretless ones even more so. My other fretless is a G&L SB-2 that I ordered new because I couldn't find a used skinny necked G&L fretless when I was looking for a fretless earlier this year.

Trades considered for:

Steinberger Spirit XZ-25
G&L El Toro or Interceptor w/#6 neck
G&L SB-2 w/#6 neck

Schroeder 1210L or 1212L (4 Ohm)
Acme Low B2 series 2 (4 Ohm? I've got a PLX1804 I'd be pushing it with)
Akai EWI-4000S

I've got a PM to a local TBer who was interested in it when I was thinking about selling it previously so he's got first dibs.

 

The other TBer is going to hold off for now so nobody has dibs - come and get it.

more trade ideas:

G&L 5-strings (gotta have an ash body if it's a Tribute)

Sorry, if I were going to keep 2 fretlesses, this wouldn't be up for sale. If it were a fretted Fortress I might be tempted as I tried a friend's Warwick and liked the neck (narrow like I like but meaty enough to sit comfortably in my hand).

 

Thanks guys!

It looks like I'm going back to SB-2s so I'd really be interested in a trade for an SB-2 if anyone with an SB-2 wants to go the L2K route.

 

There's a reflection on the edge of the body under the bridge (and you can make out a matching reflection in the edge of the bridge above). It's not a ding (no dings on this one at all).

more pics coming tomorrow (weather/lighting permitting)
