jezzaboy Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Has any one got or had one of these. I have gas for a G&L. Had a couple of L2000 Tributes but didn`t like the "chubby" neck. Or better holding out for a s/hand US model of some description. Tried to do a search in the market place for a US model but couldn`t get any results. Ta.

neepheid Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I had one. I liked it - the inbetweeny neck profile (neither Jazz nor Precision) felt very nice to me. Also a lot simpler to operate - simply three band EQ, volume and blend. I personally had no bother with the L-2000's plethora of options (nay I felt there weren't enough options so I added some!) but some people complain about it. "Chubby" is a nice way of describing the Tribute L-2000's neck - it's more like a baseball bat sawn in half. "Clubby" might be a better word I had no issue with it though - I like a chunky neck better than a skinny one. The sound of the M-2000 is smoother and possibly a little less capable of harshness/rudeness than the L-2000, more "modern" I guess. Still sounded good though, despite the less options available.

jezzaboy Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Cheers Neep. I liked the L2000`s I owned but mostly ran it in passive mode, too many options for me. I agree with you re the L`s neck size/shape. I don`t mind a wide neck but it was to much of a handful for my dainty digits The 3 band eq sounds just like what I`m looking for.

Tubster Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have an Empress wood l2k Usa made, under 8 lbs, maple neck with hsc. Tobacco sunburst, minty. Has to go! Let me know if interested. The l2k controls take a bit of getting used to but once you’ve done the course, it’s a doddle! M -series modern and more polite. Don’t know Tributes just USA stuff.

jezzaboy Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hey Tubster. Sounds interesting but I will need to move on a Ibanez and Yamaha bass to pay for one. If I get the cash together I will give you a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo2 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I had one. It's a great instrument, really capable three band EQ, fantastic neck, between P and J, satin finish. It does not sound like L2k at all though, if that is the sound you are after. It's just a brilliant two humbucker active 3band EQ versatile bass.
