Yep - that's the default neck profile and radius. You can change the profile and/or the radius to any of the other options for a slight upgrade ($72 MSRP).

Oh it looks like they changed it. I thought that the #12 with the 12" radius was the standard.
Yeah, the 12" radius used to be the norm on most of the bass models. 9.5" is the new normal on a lot of them now.
I used to know the default necks without having to look them up, but since the July 1 changes I STILL have to look them up every time I quote a bass. I don't trust my memory on the new specs yet, and my advice would be for everyone considering a special order to do the same. Check out the default neck profile for the model you want before you place an order... you might get an unwelcome surprise otherwise.

Where are you guys seeing the fretboard radiuses on the G&L site? The link seems to only show the radiuses for the old necks. It actually says that the #11 and #12 necks (12" radius) became the 1 5/8" Medium C (you guys said it is 9.5" radius)... If this is the case, I can't tell at all what the radiuses are from the site.
Greg, maybe you could just post the default neck next to the model on the list on page one to make it a little easier.
You have to click on the "Specifications" tab.
Like, here's the L-2000:

Navigating to that link, you're on the "Overview" tab initially. Click the "Specifications" tab, and there's everything you need.

Yessir!
If you'll PM me the specs you'd like, I'd be happy to generate a quote for you.
Cheers,

I just added the new JB-5 pricing info to post #1. Woot!
JB-5: MSRP = 2142, Street = $1499

- President, CEO, CFO, CIO, Chief Engineer, Technician, Janitor - Reiner Amplification
Think I found the answer if poked around a bit more:
Rocket Music - GLSB2TVintageWhiteSOLD
So I'm guessing the passive tone control is the same or similar to the setup of a Fender PJ?
I just updated all the pricing info based on the new 2018 price list.
Fingerboards are the biggest change. Indian Rosewood is now an upcharge ($72 MSRP / $50 Street) due to sourcing difficulties related to the CITES stuff. Caribbean Rosewood (aka Chechen) is the new "free" Rosewood.

I believe the L1500 and L1505 have been discontinued. I don't know what the official decision was but some people have speculated that the Kiloton 4 and 5 rendered them obsolete.
