jmesa Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) [size=7]SOLD!! [/size] Edited December 18, 2008 by jmesa
Bigwan Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 That's a strange one indeed... Not sure it's even an L2000 body... or bridge... and it seems to have sprouted an extra knob (ooh err missus!)... Looks good though! Bet it sounds like the dogs balls though - never heard a G&L that didn't!
bassbluestew Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 MMMM....it does indeedy have an extra knob ( now wouldn't that be useful ), MFD pickups look right tho and G&L are really cagey about selling parts including pups ( although they have started to sell pups fairly recently ) A strange one indeed.....G&L neck and pups fer sure, can't say much about the rest, the extra knob is weird....what does it do ? S
jmesa Posted May 29, 2008 Author Posted May 29, 2008 A strange one indeed... Those knobs are Vol / Bass / Treble / Pan by the way. The three 3-way switches change the tone completely. Panning towards the bridge gives a 'precision, but with some actual treble' sound, which is nice!
bassbluestew Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 G&L basses don't normally have a pan knob, one of the switches will do that function. I'd ask of a specific G&L forum, perhaps you've bagged some rarity..........I own an L2500 and did a lot of research and looked at a lot of G&L's before buying mine, and none had that extra knob, also the actual knobs themselves look plastic ???? ( could be the foto ), normally they'd be metal a la StingRay. As I'm sure you know the ASAT has a Tele shaped body. I'd give a kidney for a 5 string F-holed hollowbody ASAT, as rare as unicorn sh*t. But v.v.v. cool. S
jmesa Posted May 29, 2008 Author Posted May 29, 2008 Hmm not a clue on the extra knob then... sounds pretty fat either way ! Will have to look into it... cheers for the PMs everyone..
dub_junkie Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 the bridge is a Schaller 3D. You can get replacement G&L saddle lock bridges direct from the G&L online shop at $70
RichardH Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like the body might be finished in the discontinued Red Swirl, like mine. If so, it's not a refin. Here's mine (a pig to photograph properly)
jmesa Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 It's all black. That red swirl is a nice finish though for sure.
RichardH Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Ah, must be the lights' reflections. Nice touch to have the pan knob
jmesa Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 Yeah seems to work well.. played through a nice valve amp, you can get that Helmet / Don Caballero gritty sound. Lovely. Works pretty well for slap stuff as well.

Both look great - the gaudier the better with G&Ls I say,I love the metal flakes in particular - not too long ago there was a green metal flake SB2 with maple board on ebay that had my eyes bulging out their sockets every time I saw it. that and the silver flake JB-2 I missed out on twice and for the seller flat black is always good
vmaxblues Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Give us an idea of what sort of money you are looking for. Cheers Stuart
jmesa Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) I found one lying around on my computer... Will try to get some more up ASAP (Bass is stored at studio currently). Edited June 7, 2008 by jmesa
mike257 Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Why are basses I like the look of only up for sale, and never trade..... don't you people know I've got no money, this is just inconsiderate!! However, have a free bump for good luck!
jmesa Posted June 14, 2008 Author Posted June 14, 2008 Thanks mate! If you can find an Echoplex to trade with me then we can talk !
jmesa Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 May accept trades on this one now... What ya got ?
JoeS Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Don't suppose you'd be interested in a trade for a Warwick Corvette...?
jmesa Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 Not into Warwicks, sorry mate - cheers for the offer though!
jmesa Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Had some nice trade offers but nothing definate yet.. still up for grabs..
jmesa Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 Added some more pics on this.. Will probably chuck it on eBay this week if there's no love on here.
