Swapped out my white JB pick guard for a new black one. Love it!

That’s a sharp looking bass! I dig that green - extra points for having visible woodgrain 
"guitar knobs"
Just kidding, I think US L-2000's have 1/4" shafts. Im not sure if they are split or solid though.
Consider me disturbed! LOL Just kidding.
The PFMT (Premium Flame Maple Top) option is $429 MSRP and you'd see it advertised for $300.
Just FYI - I've got a handy sticky thread in my sponsored forum here on TB with all the G&L options and pricing:
G&L Pricing | TalkBass.com
That info should all be correct and current, though most of the links are dead after G&L redesigned their website. One of these days, I'll update the links to get them working again...
Does anyone here own one of the Rustic series? I saw this L-2000 for sale a while ago and I’ve been kicking myself for not buying it. They don’t pop up too often. Would trade my current L2K for one of these in a heartbeat.
Not all US basses are solid. My US 2016 M-2500 has split shafts and the knobs are impossible to get off. My US 2019 M-2000 has split shafts and I actually pulled the shaft out of the pot trying to get the volume knob off. A problem others have had also.
Oh. I stand corrected. I think the he G&L parts page was where I got that info. Thanks.
My pot shafts are solid, the reason I asked for what to search for is I won't order knobs from the G&L website, I'll most likely order from eBay. Just need to know what I need to search for so that whatever I get fits.
Thanks everyone.
Thanks everyone.
Try a site called TubesAndMore.com. They have lots of knobs. Look for ones with a set screw that fit 1/4 inch shafts.
I've been needlessly teasing myself with thoughts of the Kiloton, looking and listening. I noticed that the humbucker is sufficiently close to the bridge to leave space for a split pickup:
...and I thought about how in the YouTube demos the single coil option sounds a bit underwhelming...
So pop in a split pickup and simply wire it up on the three switch as a replacement for the single coil option...
Wouldn't look great, admittedly.

Restrung my '82 L2K HOG yesterday at lunch with DR Legends flats. Took it to church rehearsal last night. This bass is a monster! When I bought it, I thought I would set it up with rounds to have at least 1 bass with round wound strings....haven't been happy with rounds on it. Need to spend a little time with the bridge setup to get the action just right as the flats sit differently and the previous owner preferred a lower action than I do but the tone is powerful.

They dipped their toe into the “relic” pool a few years back. I don’t think it really took.
I don't think the pictured headstock is that recent. IIRC, my early 80's L2K headstock had that shape (no fishhook) and also the sticker saying "Series E".
