G&L L-2000

[tom1946]

Just bought one from Thomann for £294 delivered!!!! Qthe blue burst one.

Hell that's cheap, just a heads up.

[CamdenRob]

That is a ridiculous deal... Are these the regular tributes? I had one of these albeit with a rosewood neck, a new one for less than £300 is an awesome deal.

Wow, please let us know your thoughts when it arrives! Very interested to hear what it's like in passive mode.

I've already owned about 3 of them and sold them all, dumb thing to do. They are are probably one of the best all round basses I've ever had.

I paid £495 for my other ones so this is a heck of a deal.

This is the way I used mine as the active boost, is hot, hot, hot! That price is a steal. I paid around £575 for my last one. The only reason I got rid of it was the chuncky neck.

They have an amazingly loud output for a passive. I've got the PJ version; the SB-2.

The interesting thing with the L2000 is the neck is wider than that on the PJ version. This surprised me as its the jazz version. I'd have expected them that be the same or the other way around as it is a Leo Fender design (supposedly).

I can't possibly justify one of these as I'm in the middle of a gear cull, but seriously... anyone in the market for a versatile four string bass, this is too good an opportunity to miss out on.

[TheRockinRoadie]

It's a cracking deal but I'm also quite annoyed as I have mine up for sale at the moment at £350 (paid 575 new 18 months) and have had to take it down. Looks like I'll be keeping it for a while. Amazing bass though!

[dub_junkie]

Thanks for the heads up Tom, I've just bought one of the blueburst/maple L2Ks this morning.

I noticed they've got sunburst/rosewood L2Ks and the JB-2s either in sunburst/maple or natural/rosewood all for about £45 more which is still an incredible deal. I could have easily bought a sunburst JB-2 instead.

No gig bag with them though :-( Shame as the Tributes normally ship with nice quality bags

[JackieMoon]

Bad timing....and Blueburst with Maple....Get thee behind me satan!

[Machines]

Great bass, did everything I ever needed but for me lacked a bit of soul.

[TheRockinRoadie]

That's why I put mine up for sale. It's honestly a cracking bass but doesn't have a soul that shines through as it's own, like my other three do

indeed! that's less than what I paid for mine... SECOND HAND!

I guess mine will be with me forever now, there's no way I'd sell it for £150-200.

I'm really sorry, hadn't noticed that, I wouldn't have posted this otherwise.

[Grangur]

So much for folk talking about buying a bass as an investment. The way prices are tumbling down, it must be seriously tough out there in the instrument sales market.

I'm selling my SB-2. I think I'll be hanging on to it til after the New Year.

I have G&L gas ATM. The question is L series or M series.

No, no, no. It's an SB-2 that you need

I've got an M-series tribute and its fantastic. However, if Thomann are doing the L-series for £300 then thats a very, very tempting propostion. The only reason I'm not feeling a bit ill at how much my m-series cost in comparison is that the necks on the L-tributes are a bit on the chunky side for me.
