Sorry
GB is Green Bay Wisconsin, I live 35 miles southeast of Green Bay in Manitowoc WI. if you have ever been in a hotel and saw a Manitowoc ice machine or saw a Manitowoc crane on a job site they are made here.
The guy who owns the music store that is a G&L Dealer, has been a G&L dealer since 1985 and it is where I got my first G&L. He also was my booking agent for more than 20 years, so yea I trust his guy
There were 5 things posted here and I email him them all pm me and I'll give you my eail and I'll send you what I have

Number please!
I just got my SB-2 Tribby a few weeks ago. I have loved playing her.
But now she is off to the local luthier to make her perfect.

Thanks for the offer, but I won't need the diagrams. They may have started out or were sourced through BassesByLeo and I know the guy that runs that joint.
It's good that you have a long term and positive relationship with your tech. Many aren't that fortunate.
Something to pass on to your tech: If your bass didn't start out as a "K" model, the "K" circuit will not work unless the pickups are modified. If you're using one of the "DavePlaysBass" circuits, you'll need a C&K Components 4PDT ON-ON-ON (#7411SYZQE) switch, not a 4 position switch. Pickup selector and active/passive switch can be left as-is
You'll like single coil mode.
Ken...
OK. everyone the club is officially caught up on all numbers.The last one I posted brings us up to 419 members total right now. Thanks for your patience. Joe
number please? (no camera for pics of '81 L-1000 at the moment)
Update: Side markers are between the fret lines, on the neck wood, not on the fretboard.
I am now stringing this bass with an old set of roundwounds, unspecified.
(1981 L-2000 E)

I didn't think it would be $200 for a set. I need to order a new G&L case, before I do the tuners. Right now my 2500 is in the shop getting the K Mod and a upgraded active chip. Maybe next week I'll get her back. I can't wait to try out single coil!!!!!
Hey guys I was looking at ebay and there is a 3 bolt SB-2 on there and the seller says it has the ski-jump problem. Is this the kiss of death for G&L's? Avoid like the plague? Give me your imput.

It can usually be fixed, but generally requires a fingerboard planing and refret. You have to decide if it is worth the cost or not.
I acquired L1500 a few months ago and it had the hump/ski-jump. I filed the frets tapering the high from the 14 fret to the 22nd. But over the past few months that I had it and that it has been properly set up, the neck is actually starting to flatten out a bit.
Low action no buzz now but at some point, pull the frets, plane the hump out and refret.
