G&L L2000 vs. Fender Jazz

[plastik-bass[?]]

I plan on my next bass being a G&L L2000

I'm gonna do a little thread hijack here sorry XD

/hijack

Is it really worth the extra $$ to get a US G&L L2000 instead of a L2000 tribby?

/end hijack

You can also order (or find on ebay like I did) an L-2000 with a #8 neck...jazz feel.. 1 1/2" wide

But not a Tribute, only US models. (I have the #8 on my L2000, the greatest neck devised by the mind of man, barr none!)

I have an ASAT and the neck is pure heaven but the lack or a horn makes it unplayable standing up for any long period of time. Anyways, same electronics as the L2000 and yes it does have a ton of tone options, however, the one thing that is a major difference then my jazz bass is a blend or volume/volume knob for each pup. My ASAT has a huge sound, but sometime I would like to get a Jazz "Burp" tone by rolling off the neck pup, but no can do. It always confused me why G&L never added one?? as its a very popular option.

I had a Tribute and it had zero issues. Great bass, and not all that heavy, in spite of the comments of some posters here (a friend has an American G&L L2500 that is so heavy I can't play except sitting down, so that may be something to be aware of). I liked my Tribute a lot but an American G&L was way out of my budget.

It's a stone bargain.

So far, I've never played an ash G&L-USA or Trib-that was light.
My ash 2500 is somewhat over 10lbs: but it kicks Major Ass (salute!)

I'm with you on that! I just scored a nice USA L2500 Ash/Rosewood and it has incredible sound. A little heavy...I like them that way.
