It sure is! Here's my old black and maple SB-2. My first G&L. Unfortunately I don't have this one anymore.

Hey I like black and maple too. Here's my newly acquired CLF Research L-2000 reissue.
Beautiful! I have its cousin (mine has one more string, one more pickup, and one more switch - an L-2500
).
Your CLF is exactly what I intend on buying towards the end of the year. I have a Pharoah Gold L-1000 that I bought last year and an L-2000 Tribute that I picked up last fall because it was cheap. The Tribute is a great bass for the money but a CLF or a really early L-2000 would be a worthwhile upgrade and damn if I don't love a black bass with a maple neck.
The G&L Cherry Burst with a maple board is one of the most beautiful of all bass finishes.
some day...
If you can be patient until i get home from work tonight, I'll be happy to post a couple of pics of mine.
Wondering if anyone here has dropped the MFD pickups into a project bass?
The MFD pickups sound so amazing - was contemplating purchasing a set & maybe doing this sometime down the road.

That's how my G&L journey started: by dropping a split MFD into a Squier. It was love at first pluck.
And if they ever come out with MFD single coils, I will almost certainly try to fit a set into my Warwick Thumb.
I've thought about it a couple times. Can't find a routing template anywhere for them. And just haven't had the motivation to make one. Would love to try it sometime though.

I did the same, and put a MFD on my MIJ 88 Fender Precision. The result is stunning (especially considering the final cost of the bass)!

Just got 2 G&L Fullerton deluxe basses today
My G&L journey started with my recent L2500 Tribute - don't necessarily need more basses, but definitely wanting more of the MFD tone in my life if possible.
Anyone else notice that Fullerton Standard basses are no longer on the G&L site? (If this was already discussed, I missed it and you can slap me.)
