SOLD SOLD 1983 G&L L2000 (GandL L2K) Free Shipping

For sale Sold for $846 on the bay is a circa-1983 G&L L2000 in Black; four-string, dual humbuckers, two-band EQ, maple fretboard with original black crinkle hardware. Weight on my scale is 10 1/4 pounds. It plays and sounds great. I bought this on TalkBass about 4 years ago and it is in about the same condition. There’s a number of small nicks and scratches on the body as you might expect on a thirty-year old bass, the back of the neck is in great shape in the playing area with a small scratch and a dent where you would hang it up. A Hipshot Drop-D tuner is installed, I will include the original tuner as well.

Bass ships strung with brand new Sadowsky Black Label Stainless Steel Round Wound strings and a new Duracell battery. I will ship it in a cheapo Fender gig bag. It will be wrapped in bubble wrap and packed in a new cardboard box.

I’m asking $850 $750 $700, PayPal is fine, contact me about other payment methods. Free delivery anywhere in the Houston area. Will ship to continental US for $100 FREE or to Alaska/Hawaii for actual shipping. Will consider shipping to Canada for actual shipping, insurance and duty costs based on sales price. No International shipping, sorry.

I’m trying to thin the herd so absolutely no trades, sorry.

Feel free to ask questions in the comments or PM me directly. Thanks for your interest!

Hi John,

There's some info here about the headstock and black hardware: http://www.glguitars.com/chronology/index2.asp. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks mpdd, I have two, both 1983 black with maple, I call them my Swiss Army basses, the electronics let you get a wide variety of tones from the same bass. Definitely an evolution from P-bass to StingRay to L2000. I have been directed to reduce my number of instruments to "a normal-person's amount"

 

Yes, I have a brand new L2500 and the controls are the same, a pickup selection switch, a series/parallel switch and a switch for passive/active/ative with high boost, as well knobs for volume, treble and bass.

 

Hi MontzterMash, no, sorry, I don't know and I don't know how to find out. Would some pics with the neck off be enough to tell you what you want to know?

 

According to the specifications on G&L's site, they use Alder on Standard and all solid finishes, and Swamp Ash on Premier Finishes on their new L-2000s.

 

Awesome, thanks for the info El Tookay, appreciate your comments. I have four L2000s and an L2500 and I love them all, but I was told that I need to reduce my collection to a "normal" amount of basses.

 

Bump

 

Hi RobinEnthusiast, the neck width at the nut is 1 11/16". Hope that's what you're looking for!

 

Bump. It's going onto craigslist and eBay this weekend, I'd be glad to deliver in the Houston area and I'll discount for a local sale and/or a cash sale.
