Just reduced price again from £450 which was a fair price for such a legendary bass in this rare top condition , to £395 now to £370 inc Insured UPS Delivery so you will be getting a great bass in better condition than some I have been sent New.

Check out some examples of sounds on Youtube searching G&L L2500. Amazing array of tones available with the two really powerful humbuckers. Quick to change sound with the switches once you dial in your bass and treble. Switch near bridge takes you from Passive to Active to Active with a treble clear boost with one switch. Series or Parallel with the middle switch, then pickup selector switch for Bridge,Both or Neck pup is located nearest to the neck.

The bass was made Sept 2011 ( serial 110901974 ) but I bought it New in 2015 from Richards Guitars  to join my play at home only collection , the are no signs of wear to frets, fretboard or body because I look after my basses properly and they only get relatively  light play time each. You really won’t spot the two tiny ( pinhead sized ) body  gloss imperfections just below neck pickup towards lower horn. No thumb position swirls even. Electronics, tuners and truss rod all in perfect order, no noisy controls or switches. Absolutely clean with fretboard oiled last week and frets polished. Set up standard with little neck relief and action approx 2.4 mm B to 1.6 mm E at 12th fret ( held down at first ). 2 Allen keys included safely away from the bass in a bubble wrap I will pack extremely well , double boxed, and the price includes UPS insured delivery which I will arrange so please bear that in mind. Probably move on the advert elsewhere if no sale soon so don’t miss out here.

This is a beautiful bass and I’m only selling to replace it with a Redburst/Maple example which is on order. Yep, I’m a huge G&L fan and have more than one. This one is not overly heavy for swamp ash at 4.7kg 10lb 7oz but there’s still some Heft there. Condition is more like 9.9/10 than 9.5 so be assured you’re getting a gem.

The foundation of the L-2500 is a pair of G&L Magnetic Field Design humbuckers backed by the flexible Tri-Tone control system. It will provide the sort of versatility that’ll let you find your tone no matter the genre. The Tri-Tone system features a trio of mini toggles for pickup selection, series/parallel signal routing and active/passive operation, as well as a trio of knobs for volume, treble and bass.

Hardware

With all that under the hood, Leo gave the L-2500 the kind of chops that’ll fit in any situation, from classic R&B to power-packed rock to poppin’ funk. What’s more, the L-2500 features an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument.

The Tribute Series L-2500 delivers the magic of Leo’s revolutionary bass at a price attainable for every working musician. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back.

A few random reflections from the bright window I notice on these pics. There are absolutely no dinks or scratches on the bass just the two mini pinhead pits in the gloss about 2cm below neck pup and another just 5cm toward lower horn. Damn those reflections ! 🙄

Hi KH ! Hope you’re keeping safe up there.

Enjoying your GB75JH but not played much due to spannering my left leg ( sciatic nerve path problem) doing soundproofing  work in my loft above the bass room. Anyway, it’s just a leg ! Can walk upstairs but down is dodgy.

Yes, it’s a beaut and only selling as replacing with another L2500 Redburst with maple board. You only live once eh !? I have a Blue GL MJ-4 so don’t need  two blue ones. That would be silly ! 

Cheers mate! 🥃 WikiMac on the go here. Quent
