Just bought a fretless P bass from Steve. Smashing bass, totally cool guy, good comms, no hassles whatsoever. Cheers Steve!

It's a done deal. :-) Looking forward to getting it next week sometime. Thanks to everyone for all the reassurances. -
You just bought this a few days ago, yes? What's wrong with it?

Hi, Yes, I can box and send. Likely be an extra £20 I'd guess. i'll need to dig out the cajon bag but yes, I think it has a shoulder strap. Cheers.

SOLD ** G&L M2000 Tribute (with U-Retro Deluxe preamp)

PM'd. -
Unusual white M2000 Tribute, from a small initial batch that didn’t go into full production. White body, matching headstock, no binding, vintage tint on neck. It’s a great sounding bass in its own right (pickups and electronics are the same as the USA G&Ls) but I had a John East U-Retro Deluxe preamp lying around so I had it put in, wiring it to run at 18v. I think it improves the bass significantly. the bass has been very lightly used, condition as new really. The U-Retro mean the bass now has controls for: volume, blend, treble (with treble boost pull), bass, mid with mid frequency sweep, plus an active/passive push/pull combined with a passive tone control. There are some internal controls and jumpers inside which can do things like change it to a flat response etc that I’ve not really played with. Phew. First of all, I think the core tone of the John East is better. But the two key interesting additions here are the sweepable mid – I like boosting the mids a little near the bottom of the sweep for a bit extra low end warmth without any boom – and also the passive switching and tone control. The M2000 stock preamp has no passive mode. It’s nice to hear those humbuckers passively and roll the tone off for a bit more old school tone. So, this preamp give a massive range of tonal options to an already great bass. I do still have the original M2000 preamp which I will ship with the bass. Alternatively, if you want the stock one back in, I will get that done prior to shipping and I’ll sell the U-Retro separately. You’ll also see I have added Dunlop strap locks and a black scratchplate, which I just think makes the bass look cooler. :-) I genuinely love this bass, but a USA G&L came up on this forum which I couldn’t resist so I need a bit of money to help pay for that (and no trades please). If you haven't tried a G&L bass yet, do yourself a favour. The most underrated basses around. Based in Edinburgh but can ship at cost.

Bought a G&L bass from Ahron. No hassles whatsoever - good communication/info, prompt and secure postage, bass immaculate. All good!

No probs. Do let me know how you get on, fit wise. Watch out too - its size is very close to the width of a sheet of A4, so just check that your printer doesn't scale it down to fit.
-
Here you go. This is a scan of the underside, so you get the plate at its widest. (It's a 3 ply black/white black one so scanned the other way round you'd get the bevel and the white stripe). I've put a JPG and a PDF on. Not sure which one will make it easiest to view it at 100%. (Actually, the PDF seems to attach oddly, so you may need to use the JPG). Let me know how you get on. I'l be interested to know if it fits the L2000 as well. BTW I'll likely be selling my M2000 with this plate on it soon if anyone fancies it, as I'm buying a USA G&L. It's a lovely M2000 - I have a John East U Retro Deluxe in it and Hipshot Ultralites too. Sounds fantastic.
-
Yeah, mine's a Tribute so I decided to just go for it. I'll get onto it tonight hopefully. Feel free to nag me if I don't get to it in the next few days.

Chris just cut it and screwed it on. I guess if you didn't want to make holes in the bass you could just attach it with double sided tape. if you do decide to get one let me know and I'll pass mine back to Chris to copy. That'll make it easier than starting from scratch. Same as L2000? I'd assume so. I don't have one here to check though. What I might do is take this one off, scan it, then you could print one out actual size, cut it out and see if it fits.

Chris McIntyre, in Edinburgh. He made it by hand, based on the same pic as shown above. http://www.mcintyreguitars.com. I know some G&L owners think putting a plate on the L/M2000s is heresy but I think it makes them look better!

I had this made for me recently, based on that design. What do you think?

Which neck is on this one? Is it the 1 5/8" one?
