We received three new G&L basses today, two of which were pre-sold (see funny story below).

Here's the unclaimed one that is just looking for a home!

G&L L-2000 (Blueburst, MP)

These next two basses are both for Craig. He knew the look he wanted, he just wasn't sure which model. We initially ordered one of them, then Craig changed his mind a few days later. I offered to order both and let him have his pick when they arrived... and he chose BOTH!! Nothing wrong with that in my book!! :D

I think these are both sexy as all get out, and the tort guard takes the SB-2 to another level of cool. Craig's taste = muy bueno!!

G&L SB-2 (Spanish Copper Metallic, RW) **SOLD**

I used to own an L2000 like that blue burst. Great bass. I actually had 3 G&L's at one time. They were going to be my last basses, and then I tried a couple Ken Smiths and started the endless merry go round. Kinda wish I had my 3 G&L's again.

I think most of my online friends will both be highly amused and completely unsurprised by that :D

UPS can't get here fast enough. Double NBD coming soon

It's a funny story with a happy ending, which is always my favorite kind of sale! Anyone can order ONE bass without much hullabuloo. :D

Both basses came in with pretty high action, but I sorted that out for you. The necks were pretty straight, they both just needed very slight tweaks on the truss rod. Then I dropped the saddles quite a bit. I left it a smidge higher than I like, just 'cause I like it ridiculously low. Hopefully the weather between me and you permits the necks to stay properly adjusted and you can just tweak the saddles to your liking (if necessary).

Their blueburst always looks awesome. My only gripe with their basses are they tend to run heavy. I played and L-2500 that sounded great but was a bit too beefy for my girly demeanor...

Craig actually specifically requested "lightweight" on the L2K. G&L is one of the few "production" manufacturers who will actually listen to such a request. I didn't weigh them, but neither of these basses was a boat anchor.

Yeah, I was talking to my UPS driver, and he says that drivers are not allowed to drop stuff at the door of an apartment (which this was). So we should get our claim approved. Unfortunately, I declared the bass for just $99. We basically self insure. Problems like this are so rare that we eat 'em when they happen rather than definitely lose money by paying for insurance with every guitar we ship.

Win some, lose some. :bawl::D
