I've been managing with a single tone knob on a P or jazz bass for, oh, about 30 years, so I'm ok with that.
Anyone who wanted to talk at length about their favourite settings on the L-2000 would find at least one enthusiastic listener here:
Plotting a route through the 27 tones of the L-2000
(There's a link to a demo video which is as thorough as it is brisk and efficient there)

I'm seriously considering one of these... I gotta ask, is there any neck dive?
Just curious, because the Jaguar SS I had was so bad I traded it off
mine weighs around 9 lbs. there is a small amount of neck dive, yes. it's manageable for me. Most SS basses I have owned have had some neck dive. The balance point shifts, that's the way I have reconciled with that. A good cotton strap is the remedy for me.
Do the Kiloton and L1500 have the same pickup placement? I know the early 1500s were further back but wondering about the newer ones.
I have pan/volume/tone but I run tone 80% or so. Most used pan for me is evenly split or full neck for that tick p bass sound. Sometimes I do run biased towards the bridge too but mostly the other two.

I'm in SoCal and house poor, so I'm out on unplanned purchases. Plus I didn't see it.
That L2k looks mighty sweet, though. Congrats.
I bought my L-2500 about 4 1/2 years ago and had become interested in buying one a few years before that based on what I had been reading herd on TB. Before that I didn't really know of them. I only started playing out with others in basement jams about four years ago and a gigging band last summer (I'm a late bloomer) but no one I've played with so far knew of G&L before I showed up eith my L-2500.
One guitar player in the first group I played with even asked if I had a pro level instrument. He didn't believe me at first when I told him the "L" in G&L was Leo Fender.

Beautiful!
This doesn't surprise me as I've found that most guitarists know very little about basses or bass playing and are happy in their ignorance.
I did play in one band where one guitar player wasn't familiar with G&L at the time, and the second was only vaguely aware. The first one has an ASAT now, and the second almost bought a SB-1 when he switched to bass at one point, but it had some neck bow and he opted for a Fender J instead.
Now that's a good idea if you're so inclined. Removable opens it to more buyers in the future (happen to like the bare look myself)
Hey Toro fans...have you seen this?
If you're a JB5 owner and you want to feel responsible for someone else becoming one, here's the very thread for you: Question about a bass: G&L JB-5
