NBD: 1997 G&L honey burst L2000

Got this from a pawn shop, arrived today and it's in great shape.

Honey burst ash body.
Bi-cut neck, 1-11/16(1.68) nut, satin finish.
Looks like medium jumbo frets.

This is my first g&l and I'm impressed

Lots of pics....

Congrats and welcome to the club. It's a wonder that more Fender players don't play G&L's, I've been playing them
Since '92 when I bought an '83 L2000E fretless. That sucker was so heavy it put a permanent curve in my back!
But the versatility of sounds on these are almost limitless, I still own 3, an L2000 a L2500 and a JB2 and there are
only 2 bass tones I've been unable to duplicate that would be a rickenbacker and an Alembic. Anyway good luck and
have fun playing with all those knobs and switches!
 
So far the way I'm liking the controls is
Volume 75%
Treble 60%
Bass 50%

Both pickups
Parallel
Active , no treble boost

It came with some dead steel strings, roto sounds I believe.
I put DR Sunbeams on it.

This will take some getting used to but I'm liking it.

Looking into the K wiring mod.
