That beauty is yet another example of why G&L really should start offering RMC for their SB bodied basses.
My L2000 Tribute is playing really great with no issues, but my L2500 has a a high pitch ringing noise when I pluck the strings. I play with a fret wrap witch eliminates the nut, but could it be the bridge? The L2000 bridge is screwed down in the through holes and is strung through the top of the bridge, where as the L2500 is strung through the body. I do plan on performing the mod but wondering if anybody else has experienced this. Attached is a link to a recording to show what I'm talking about

It's probably one of the springs under the pickups resonating. Put a small piece of foam in the middle of each spring to damp it and you'll have no more trouble.
One of my G&Ls had that problem.
Thanks for the reply, I hope your suggestion works. Please excuse my dumbness here, but you mean fully unscrew the pickups to get to springs underneath yeah?
I know the question was not directed at me, but yes under the pickups. Photo of the springs from my L2500.
Off topic, but, what was your recording set up (pedals)here? Really digging the tone!
Thanks, I love it too. Loving these basses. Active Treble boost mode in Parralell, Bass on full, treble rolled back a touch, volume on full. Pedals are Mozztronics Opto comp into low gain Darkglass X7 into Mozztronics Bass Preamp and then Two Notes Torpedo Wall of sound plugin. Sounds even better with drums

Thankyou very much. Your suggestion worked!!! Incredibly grateful. I would of performed the bridge fixing mod and still had the problem if it wasn't for you.
The bridge mod is still worth doing, and also the improving the bridge ground connection Bridge grounding as these have a habit of going high resistance. (2 out of 3 of my G&Ls have needed this.)
having to list one of my babies, an SB-2 in Midnight Blue metallic

Got myself my second ever bass. This one is a fretless. First G&L as well!
I had never thought of an SB-2, let alone an SB-2T, as a platform for a fretless bass. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea—well done, Mr. Underhill!
Hey y'all wanted to share this tune I used my l1000 on. It's the best bass ever.
