tom1946 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Just bought one from Thomann for £294 delivered!!!! Qthe blue burst one. Hell that's cheap, just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) 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.

Romeo2 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£294?! Makes me feel like a sucker, thinking how much I paid for mine!

Truckstop Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Wow, please let us know your thoughts when it arrives! Very interested to hear what it's like in passive mode. Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interested to hear what it's like in passive mode. Truckstop [/quote] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) 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).

CamdenRob Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 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 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Great bass, did everything I ever needed but for me lacked a bit of soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRockinRoadie Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 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.

[/quote] 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.
