Details

Hi TB,

I have a cool one for you today! Here is my rare 1988-89 G&L L-5000 Bass. This was G&L's first foray into 5-Strings, and as such, has tight string spacing for super fast runs. The neck plays like a dream and has a wonderful Rosewood board, but it is just a bit too tight for me. She has been upgraded with EMG P/J pickups with a V/V/T knob arrangement. I put black EMG knobs on but will include the original knurled ones as well that I got it with. She sounds huge and looks killer with the scimitar headstock, and black anodized bridge. Condition is good with just one paint issue pictured below. Fret life is great for a bass this age. Ships in a hard case.

Trades
- 4 or 5 String Basses
- Class D Bass Heads
- Dirt/Overdrive/Distortion/Comp pedals

+/- Cash where appropriate is fine as well!

Fun fact:

This was the first production 5 string bass Leo Fender designed from B to G.

Technically it's the predecessor to the L5500 and L2500.
It sure is: I worked on the prototype, and the first run of 20. :D
the very first one had a modified interceptor body (sadly i also cut it up -- it never made it out the door.)
