  1. Nut Width 1 1/2", 1 5/8" and 1 3/4 Neck radius 7 1/2", 9 1/2" and 12"
  2. How is something like that even possible? Sounds like a nightmare!
  3. Saw the same thing several times here. Wasn't sure if people were joking or actually didn't know. Hard to tell if people were L2000 users or if they'd merely tried them out once at this or that store. Some might be unaware they can go fully passive.
  4. Old-school tones aren't possible with the L2000? Of course they are, you just have to switch to passive mode. Oh, yeah...GHS black tapewounds!
  5. Perfect choice...immeasurably nicer than the old ones.
  6. It's possible it will ruin it cosmetically.
  7. Top-notch quality, very smooth neck, great tone...the Turbo Switch is a nice feature, too.
  8. He's talking about a specific cosmetic mod that might very well ruin the bass.
  9. I would've been happy with that one. Hard to pick a favorite among these..
  10. I'm talking about the older models with the Aphex System electronics...Aural Exciter and Big-Bottom Sound. There's a good reason I have three...they're that damned good! If there's a more versatile acoustic bass, I have yet to find it. By the way, I believe in the MTV Unplugged school of thought...plug in!
  11. D'Addario black tapewounds on my three Dean Exotica acoustic basses. Tapewounds or flatwounds are the only way to go! Good luck...with playing it, that is. I seriously doubt you'll be able to mod it.
  12. I really like the white Tributes with the matching headstocks and the Trans orange ones with the maple fretboards. TheJapanese ones, are even nicer. First G&L I ever played was a L2000 Tribute. Liked it so much I found a new one for the ridiculous price of $500. Played it for three or four months before finding a nice USA-made one and never even noticed the neck was slightly wider.
  13. Sounds like me! Still, nearly every time I post a pic without naming the bass, people say "Wow, what's that?"
  14. Reverend Thundergun. Passive, pure and potent!
  15. Yes, more than one way to learn and I wouldn't own my two L2000s if not for people posting how good they are these past years.
  16. I've heard the name before. Just not sure where. Sure beats calling a yellow finish natural when it's not. (I think Reverend does with the older Thunderguns.)
  17. I wish I knew. Never saw another Imola with this finish and the seller didn't mention the color. The big pickguard is part of the charm, I think.
  18. Okay, it's not a typical jazz bass, not a Fender or a Squier or one of the countless clones, but it does have jazz pickups...and it doesn’t have the dreaded 60-cycle hum. Italia is not a brand you hear being lauded by bassists, but the people at Italia put together a very nice bass...Wilkinson pickups, bridge and tuners. I have no experience with Wilkinson, but everything seems spot on. I've always liked the look of the Imola, so I took a bit of a gamble and bought it online without being able to try it out...payed off! New price is $899, but I got it for $400 and it looks like it's never been played. GHS black tapewounds make this a real winner!
