DESCRIPTION:
L-2000 bass designed by Leo Fender and made in Japan strictly for the Japanese domestic market as a more affordable alternative to the USA G&L products for Japanese consumers.
Specs:
• Swamp ash body
• Trans-white finish color
• Body finish: gloss
• 34" scale length
• Maple neck with a walnut stripe
• Bolt-on neck construction
• G&L 1 & 5/8" medium C neck profile (feels a lot thinner than it looks)
• Neck finish: satin
• Maple fretboard with a 9.5" radius
• 21 medium jumbo frets (Jescar fretwire)
• Pickups: G&L Magnetic Field Design™ humbuckers
• Controls: Tri-Tone™ system with 3-position pickup selector switch, series/parallel switch, 3-position preamp mode switch, a volume knob, and a 2-band EQ
• Bridge: G&L Saddle Lock bridge
• Tuners: Custom G&L "Ultra-Lite" tuners with aluminum tapered string posts
A brand new, aftermarket hardcase is included in the sale.
The trans-white finish color paired with a maple fretboard was a very limited spec combination relegated to only a few of the Japanese Premium L-2000 basses made in the year 2010. It is an extremely rare combination; and it took me years to track down a Japanese Premium L-2000 with this exact combination. Totally got lucky.
On a related note: you can more easily find a USA-made L-2000 model with the trans-white finish and a maple fretboard, but there are only a few out there. Typically, any G&L with the trans-white finish color is paired with a rosewood fretboard. (It just seems to be a default thing that G&L has always done.)
The proprietary G&L Magnetic Field Design™ humbuckers are made in the USA G&L factory before being shipped to Japan for the assembly phase of production. And when combined with the proprietary G&L Tri-Tone™ control system, the MFD humbuckers really make the L-2000 one of the most flexible, "easiest-to-dial-in" basses that I've ever played.
CONDITION:
Super clean. The fit and finish are immaculate and feel bulletproof. One tiny chip is present and has been documented in the photos.
PRICE:
$1,000 + shipping
LOCATION:
East Coast, USA.
I can work with interested buyers on all shipping concerns domestically or internationally.
