G&L L1500 Black w/matching headstock GandL w/case

G&L L1500 with original case, documents, tags and tools!

The neck on this baby is amazing. Quartersawn maple with rosewood board. Side markers only. Tons of sustain (more than my L2000) and plays like a dream. The neck measures 1.5" at the nut. There are some dings on the back of the neck-maybe from my wedding ring.... nothing horrible. I think the price definitely balances out any imperfections!

I changed the coil selector switch to add a single coil option. So now it is parallel-front coil-series. I chose the front coil because a slightly fatter sound that leans toward a ric or p bass. That makes it more versatile when you need a sound that is less like a bridge pickup. I am including the original switch as well.

Please look at the pics for condition. there is hardly a mark on the body-just normal stuff for a used bass. some dings on the headstock (in pics)

The bass weighs 8lbs 14oz and is nicely balanced.

I am putting this up at a very fair price and I may consider a trade. It would have to be a lightweight 4 string.

I agree! I guess I could push for more but I'd like to get it out there for someone to play....

 

Absolutely! It is a 2010 I believe. vol, treble cut, Bass cut are the knobs. The front switch is the coil selector= series, front coil, parallel are the choices. The rear switch is active (with treble boost) and passive. The reason it has treble and bass cut only is because the pickups were designed to have plenty of bass built-in. I think also that setup can work in active OR pAssive mode vs other active preamps that can only adjust tone when active.
Make sense?

The L1500 has the controls I just described with the pickup in the sweet spot (like a stingray). The L1000 is only passive and the pickup is more towards the neck like a P bass.

Simple explanation:

L1000= P Bass on steroids
L1500= Stingray on steroids (or at least some kind of serious herbal supplements)

 

Snarl is a good way to put it.

 

I was using it with everything. it would be good for rock, metal, dance music, funk. I would use the front coil for things that called for a p bass type of tone. It's not exactly like a p bass but if you pluck towards the neck it gets in the ballpark. Takes some of the mid range punch out.

 

It seems like a 12" radius. It is pretty shallow.
