G&L L1000 - SERIAL B000544

[stamos]

I just purchased a G&L L1000 - SERIAL B000544.

According to G&L official site, S/Ns started from B000518 in 1980, meaning this is the 26th bass of the factory.

Does anyone know if this particular one, or maybe the first production models where specifically ordered for someone or for some particular reason?

It seems we are talking about a historic piece and I would be really happy to know more details if someone knew.

Must have been under someone's bed, because it looks pristine!

I've found www.guitarsbyleo.com to be a great resource - lot's of knowledgable folks over there.
Nice bass, I've got an '83 L1k that I love!

Someone told me once that if the neck cavity has a sticker (forgot what color/type) then it was personally supervised by Leo Fender. I don't know if this is an urban legend or not, but my L1000 does not have such a sticker.

Anyway, that's a really nice bass. Congrats.

Nice find! That thing's in incredibly good condition.

I love the control plates on the early L series basses.
