I had a similar (but worse) issue with one of my Rickenbackers and the dreaded finish bubbling around the bridge plate, and someone recommended this (which I found on Amazon):

What happened with that recommendation? Did you apply and fix the issue?
Have not, it's pending. I'm not skilled at those types of things at all, I'll prolly ask my tech to do it at some point.
Anyone know what KIND of rosewood would be on a 2017 L-2500? I have a CITES shipping question related the type of rosewood and thought someone here might know.

The build sheet only says rosewood. I'm guessing it is Indian Rosewood and not Brazilian. Just hoping for confirmation from others.
Always regretted selling my 1980 L-1000 when I was bitten by the Steinberger bug. Finally broke down and took the plunge with this CLF reissue. I really love it. Has all the tone I remember in the old one. Build quality is wonderful. It is the equal of my Fender AV RI favorites and my Laklands. G&L basses continue to be a great value.
Well I've been in and out of the G&L club a few times recently. Currently back in with this trio.
SB-1 in shoreline gold
LB-100 Tribute
And just ordered this early 80s L-1000 from Chicago Music Exchange. Should be here later this week.

I'm in lockdown and could only bring one of my basses. I went with my L-2000 tribute, I guess it's from the year 2000!
Well, I'm bored, so I made some videos to showcase the great tones of my G&L! I hope it's ok to upload here?

Well done! That's some great tones. I was quite surprised by the bridge pickup/series/active/treble cut tone —> not a combination I've used. Lovely fat but firm sound.
That's the funkiest L2k I've ever heard.
Folks, I really, really don't need another bass. But I've also recently inherited a (very) small sum from a late uncle's estate. It's just about the right amount to cover the down-payment the local G&L pusher needs before ordering an LB-100 for me. I fear the want in me has overcome the need...
