I remember when that Orange was going around as a common order and advert color about 20 years ago.
With a bass as bad-assed as that, I don't see a problem either way…The extra weight of a 5 string headstock would make it neck dive like a mofo unless the body was a boat anchor
Yes , the dealer , G&L , and myself were working out some details with the build so I got a few pics just to see how things were looking .
That's cool ! My build wasn't custom shop, but G&L didn't take or post any pictures of it on their page, I wish they had. Looking forward to seeing your bass
Not an obvious option.
However, on my now-sold M-2500, I put an additional series/single coil/parallel toggle switch (3-position), similar to the mod I made on my L-2500 that initially had a 2-position switch (easy mod).

Congratulations on your new to you M2000. I have an M2500 Tribute I bought new in 2018. It's still stock aside from trying different strings. Mine seems to like GHS Super Steels at the moment
They don't.
What they only have is the 2-position switch used on L-2x00, ASAT Bass, etc:
To get a Series/Single/Parallel functionality, you need a 3-position 12-lug 4PDT (on/on/on) mini toggle switch.
However, both look the same. Multicomp brand.
Just got the super sweet 9 lb Sugar Pine at left to go with my super sweet 10 lb Alder at right. Love that Satin Vintage Tint neck! Planning to drop a John East J-Tone into Sugar Pine.
Hello, any special considerations for adjusting the truss rod on an LB-100? I've only recently started setting up my own basses and haven't worked with dual truss rods yet
Loosen the strings. Make sure the hex wrench is the right size (should be 4mm, but make sure it fits tightly into the truss rod nut. This is very important because the nut on a dual action truss rod cannot be unscrewed and replaced.) Gently manually bend the neck slightly in the direction you need it to go. Turn the truss rod nut...clockwise to reduce relief, counter clockwise to add relief. 1/8th to 1/4 turn is usually enough. That's how I do it.
Mind if I join?
Scarred 2005 L2k and a new Tribute Fallout. MFDs are my new favorite thing.

It's just vinyl wrap. Don't get too excited.
I thought it needed just a little something. White basses don't really do it for me. I just got that while I decide whether I like it.
