This is my LB-100 Empress from the original Rocket Music image.

Is that aged white?

NBD! Very pleased thus far. The Irish Ale/Tort sure is purdy!

I call it Vintage White, I think G&L just calls it White.

G&L calls it vintage white. I have it on my L2500.

Yes I take that back Rocket Music just says white, G&L color option is Vintage White which is where I got it from just didn't remember.

G&L calls it Vintage White, but yeah - same idea. It's a fairly creamy white.

Can I see some L1Ks please, just because? What you liked and didn't?

I am always looking to post pictures of my new bass. I was really GASsing for a Kiloton, but for some reason, fell in love with the look of the chrome control plate, big knobs and red tipped switch. Add in the Pharaoh Gold and I couldn't not buy it!!

NBD! Very pleased thus far. The Irish Ale/Tort sure is purdy!

Speaking of Kilotons, I am in love with the Irish Ale/Tort look, but wish it had a rosewood board instead. I think the maple is too bright, color-wise, for that finish. But, congrats on the bass!!

I second that emotion

I get that. I simply prefer to play an all maple neck, so I guess my eyes have adjusted. lol

Sweet, I'm seriously considering going for a custom shop kiloton...

Guys either dissuade me or enable me...
I have a 1st Gen Yamaha TRB (JJ, MIJ, non-piezo). Sweet bass, just not my thing tone wise.
Had a guy offer to trade a '90' US L2000. My issue - I already have 2 x L2000! I don't really need another. But I'm thinking it's still a beneficial trade - even if I don't find a use for a 3rd L2000 it's still worth more than the Yammie yeah? Thoughts?

The Yammie is a very nice bass with a distinctive voice. Unless the 3rd L2000 has something unique (for your collection) going on—say the k-mod or a fretless neck—then why narrow your range of possible tones? If you don't use the TRB, then sell it and get something different, maybe an SB or Kiloton.

This one has been mine for a few months now, and it's a really nice bass. Just thought I'd share.
