TheGreek Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Resurrecting this thread - there are a lot of good basses around currently and you get a lot of bass for your money with all of them but I maintain that this is one of the best basses you are going to get for your bass buck. Versatile, great tonal range - suits all styles and some. Build quality is as good as many top end basses and despite what some say, I don't see any reason why you'd need to change anything on this bass - the machine heads are more than adequate and if you change them for anything other than top end parts you'll be wasting your hard earned. I really like them - and I have two in my rack at the moment - a L2500 fretted and a L2000 defret (down to a very good standard) - you'd love to get them both for between £600-650. Shop around and you could just do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very late to the party😉 but Freddie Tavares mainly, with help from local Double Bass players. Mr Tavares was also an incredibly talented musician.
