G&L Porn!

Does anyone know why my pics upload sideways sometimes?

My guess would be it's in the EXIF data or in the file header. Sometimes when I drag an image from my PC to my phone the orientation is off. Exif - Wikipedia
Disclaimer: I am not an expert on image files. When this happens I drag the file to my PC and open in any image program (Paint, Paint Shop Pro, etc) and reset the orientation, then save the file.

1981 L2000 E grabbed locally. Super super clean and everything works. I believe original case and G&L documents too. This thing is the bomb! Can't wait to play it out!! View attachment 4210701

Congratulations!! What a beauty! I love my '81 L-2000E. Is that a rosewood fretboard?

 

[baddarryl]

Yes

 

[Murch]

Yes

Rosewood is more rare to see on the early ones. The standard options were maple or ebony.

i am no wood expert but I just took a better look in good light. It has a brownish tint to and is grainy like my Rosewood Sigma.

The ever elusive mystery slot pole pieces. Big fistful of nothing for those that know what they are supposed to be about.

My first G&L has slot pole pieces.
It's glorious.

G&L is difficult to buy and has zero distribution in the MD/DC area. The closest dealer is about 4 hours away and while GC claims to be a dealer, I've never seen a G&L bass in any of our local stores. Imagine if you could walk into to a music store and buy one as easily as a Fender, MM, Ibanez, Spector, Yamaha, etc.
Sweetwater is one of the few stores that stocks Tributes and lists weights which is a big deal if you are looking for 8 lbs. or less. They make boat anchors but also basses from my favorite weed tree, empress!

Doesn't Jive Sound in Alexandria Virginia carry G&L? Jong Lee (Jive1) used to be a moderator on this site a couple of years ago, but I think his shop is still around.

My L2k is the only bass I've seen that used threaded brass inserts for the screws on the Battery cover. Over-Engineered perhaps, but it just goes to show that Leo was NOT KIDDING on these basses. Do they still do that on the new USA built ones? Mine also has a big brass plate in the control cavity that everything is star-grounded to. I fried the preamp while doing some ill-advised tinkering with the electronics ( the less said, the better), but was able to get a a drop-in replacement from G&L. Excellent customer service too.

Great idea and one I followed up about a year ago. He has had the same 3 G&L's in stock for a long time but none that I am interested in.

Yeah, I agree with you that those Tributes are not so interesting. Rocket Music has a big inventory of US models, but as you pointed out, they are a long ways away from DC/MD.

Love that blue colour. Nice Bass I had a 2000 for a while, but always wanted an early headstock L1000. Picked up this Nov 1980 about 3 weeks ago in London. With a Hiscox case..............£750 ($1000). G&Ls are great value for money super quality basses

That is one INCREDIBLE find. Congratulations!

Congrats, rock it hard!

have you visited the G&L register? The G&L Enthusiasts Website (guitarsbyleo.com)

Nice! I have an 83' with the same headstock, 3 bolt neck, and crinkle black hardware. A tank in all the right sense of the word, it will never let you down. I havent touched the neck tilt in all these years, never needed to. That one looks almost pristine, mines gotten a little "road worn", thinking about refinning it.

Nooooo don't efin refin, unless it's flake then I'm all for it

George and Leo porn? Isn't this a family friendly site?

I had a feeling this would eventually leak.

Well, you know Lloyd, and Dale were always watching.

It's simply what Leo got for cheap for the to use for the soft iron grub screws used as pole pieces. IIRC they were mil surplus sourced.
