solo4652 Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) Folks, I've invested in a USA L2000, so my Tribute isn't getting played. Sadly, I can't justify keeping it. ID number = 04106846 which dates it to 2005, possibly 2006. Natural body, maple neck. I should think that many people on Basschat know all about these basses, but in case you don't here's the official spec: [url="http://www.glguitars.com/instruments/TributeSeries/basses/L-2000/index.asp"]http://www.glguitars.com/instruments/Tribu...-2000/index.asp[/url] The bass is in excellent condition, having not been played much at all - it's always been my back-up, first to a Fender P, then the USA L2000. There are some [i]very[/i] minor marks in the usual places - top of headstock, slight "bloom" of bucklerash on the back. Other than that, it's clean as a whistle. You'd buy this in shop as "ex-demo", no problem. I will point out that one of the knobs has been replaced somewhere along the line and is ever-so-slightly off-centre. Don't worry, though, all controls work exactly as they should. Currently sporting Status halfwound strings which add to the famous G&L big sound to give a truly fat and warm tone. Comes with a beat-up Warwick gigbag which will protect it in transit but won't win any concours d'elegance prizes. The bass is here in Stockport. Buffed, cleaned and lonely - bless it. You're more than welcome to come round anytime for a try out and a chat. £350.

When A/B'ed, the natural/maple (just) had the clearer, more cut-through tone. So I kept the natural/mape one and sold the first one. Looks good in the photos, doesn't it! Steve

Jakester Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Oooh, it arrived this morning! In my haste to get into the box, I cut my ruddy finger open The finish looks even nicer in the flesh - the body's a deeper hue than the pics show. Can't wait to try it out tonight! Top marks to Steve for a lovely bass, shipped superfast.
Ou7shined Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 And they all lived happily ever after. [attachment=77364:IMAG0002.jpg]
