Tribute L2000, picky little details.

[origami]

i had a tribby L2000 when they first came out. killer bass for the buck! excellent sound and build.

i sold it (not because i didn't like it), but because i needed to buy another bass.

it did have an extreamely hot ouput especially in series mode. you may have to use you pad on your amps input. the bass got murky if you didn't have the controls dimed. i usually played. parallel, both PUs, active on. those PUs rule!!! it was a little p feeling neck and body. i remember mine being a tad heavy. i would say the bass it is closest to it soundwise would be stingray maybe a wal.

if i remember, i do think one pot was scatchy, but that is a cheap fix. i don't remember any noie.

i like the headstock on the newer tribute models. they look more like the US versions. if there is a difference between the US and tribute version i would say it is the bridge, hardware and attention to neck detail. sound is about identical.

good review from this guy. ignore all the slappin'

Funny I come across this thread when I've got a 2500 in my lap. I got it on a trade for an old cab of mine so I could have another 5 at home to write on. I tend to leave my main 5 if I'm using it, at the practice spot so I can ride to practice and save some gas (and have fun).

It's... ok. Theres some things about it that just never sat right with me. The pots are very scratchy, and I'm not fond of pickup switches, so used to a blend knob or seperate volumes... And having a two band pre, it could do without the 'bright' switch or whatever you call it.

It can sound pretty fat and sits in a mix pretty well, but the high strings always sound distant to me and no matter how I've set it up or what strings, it has this clank to it when you dig in that isn't the pleasant kind. I dunno, I've never gigged with it and I probably never will, but it's nice to have around as something to beat on around the house.

Would you say the Tribute neck is....an equivalent of a "C-Shape" P-bass neck?

Definitely more of a P than a J neck. Not too flat, but really comfortable.

I've had my tribute for a while now, and it's dead quiet on all settings, which are all useable. All in all a great bass, and defiinitely gig-worthy.
