Some questions about G&L L-2000

http://www.talkbass.com/forum/search.php?searchid=1601665

 

Sheilding, some may need to be sheided...

Access to battery? A screwdriver is not that big of a deal, plus it can be run with a dead battery in passive.

Warp in the neck? Never seen/heard of one.

 

Bemvindo!!

I have had 5 different L-2000's and still have one in natural with a jazz neck and ebony board as my main bass. My basses have been from 1982 to 2004.....

Shielding has been a problem on ONLY one of the 90's basses and it was quickly cured/repaired

All necks have been 100% stable - much more so than my Fenders (had 3 Fender jazz necks with problems)

G&L's are all very well made with great finishes

I have owned only 2 Rickenbackers and enjoyed them BUT for me they do not have the versatility of a G&L L-2000. The G&L has a phenomenal range of sounds.

I would suggest a visit to the Dudepit G&l thread (moderator -hope this is OK) at http://www.vintagebass.com/thedudepit/forumdisplay.php?f=45 where you will get all your questions answered expertly.

G&L is a very fine product and the L-2000 is a wonderful bass but it is a very different animal than a Rick.

Good shopping. All the best

 

I have a 1981 L2000E fretless that I bought new way back then. I've never had an issue with it. It's an awesome player, great in your hands, with a wide palette of great tones. I recently bought a 2000-ish L2500 "Tribute" series (non-usa made) G&L, and it's very nice as well. I got it used on ebay for $299 to my door, a great bargain. I find it every bit as nice as the American made G&L asfter I spent some time on setup. I know of no neck issues with G&L, buy with confidence.

 

No problems with my 98 L-2000.

 

Finish on all mine is awesome. They are built to last a long time!

 

+1 for G&L. I agree totally with previous posts about it! Check my thread with some clips of 5 string L2500 which have same pickups, electronics and hardware as L2000! http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209886
Good luck!

 

G&L has some Beautiful Finishes!

 

yup, G&L. its great. sounds as good as a rick but with more options.

 

My 1983 L2000 is sweet...absolutely no problems. I love it. Without a doubt one of the most versatile, well built basses I've ever played.

I also want a 4003, but out of the ones i've tried I like the way my L2000 plays better.

 

Of course it's a high-end bass, my friend...
