I would like to think, in this day and age, that they'd at least provide hardware and strings, but I must be wrong.

I will wait and see…Maybe if I bribe them with 🌮s I might get a more playable result.
We'll see 😎

Nice bass congrats! I love Black basses, the matte and no dots really looks sharp.
I'm waiting on a rebuild of an L-2000 now in Gloss Andromeda Black, can't wait to get it back.
Happy Holidays also!

How do you like it compared to the L?

So I like the L but I have a silly little issue with the cut only preamp. I'm always paranoid if I have it the right spot. I would love a rotary switch for the preamp so I can click in the right spot. That might sound ridiculous, but I would use it.

I will also admit, I think Ed Friedland unintentionally did a disservice to the review and I will explain.

He said it was less aggressive than the L.
I don't necessarily agree with that statement. I think that pushes some players away.
You just add a touch of mids to the the M and you pretty much have the parallel version of the L that is active only with a more flexible low and high band eq with more control. IMHO

I agree with this. I have has several L2500s, but one I got my M2500 I was sold. I like having that mid control. Especially on the fretless in my avatar.
