Congratulations, it's awesome.Add another G&L to the stable.
I think I should redo the neck/board/HS on mine with that killer glossy tinted vintage look (instead of clear satin currently).
The issue is how not to damage the G&L logo.
For those who were looking for a hard to find 1997 L2500 with a wide nut (1-15/16th) and 4+1 headstock, there is one on ebay (awesome condition, fair price).
Please note this is the regular version, not the 'Custom' version of 1997.

Finally got a chance to run the SB-2 at practice. Halfway thru our set rundown, my guitarist/lead singer turned to me and said 'If you sold all your other basses and just played that one I wouldn't be mad.' It's a winner.
Also helps that the bass has sentimental value to me. When I was a 16 (in 1999) year old kid learning bass, I was into real basic punk rock stuff. Along comes this band my age playing faster and more technical than I'd ever even thought of. Their bassist, Alex, influenced me beyond anyone else at that point. This was his bass. He stopped playing a few years ago, had a kid, moved on with life. I now own an instrument that indelibly ties me to a point in my life where discovery was like magic to me.

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.

Anyone know what size allen wrench is needed for the truss in the bass in my post above? I currently have a 4mm T-bar wrench....

Here are my current compadres, I am piecing together an order for a JB-5 which should round out the crowd nicely.
I love that finish on the L2500. I'm slowly starting to put together the funds for a G&L what are some of the better places to shop for these I don't have a shop that stocks these local to me.Here are my current compadres, I am piecing together an order for a JB-5 which should round out the crowd nicely.
Grabbed this one off of Armybass...'97 L2500 w/ the discontinued micro-tilt neck feature...hopefully it'll be here by the end of the week!
I assure you Ben, you wont be disappointed. The is hands down the best L2500 I have had. Only selling to make way for a JB-5 I have on order. Hope it lives up to its predecessor.
I feel the same way. Ebay has become too much of a crap shoot.
