Now £750 SOLD

USA G&L L2000 4 string bass for sale. Gloss black body and rosewood neck model. I bought this from the original owner 8 months ago and he had bought it new from a shop on tour in America in 2000. Looking at the serial I reckon that makes it a 1998 at the earliest and more likely a 1999 model. 

Its not a closet queen and has wear typical of the 20 years of use that it's had. There is some buffing to the area above the pickups (which should actually polish out if i could be bothered) and a few minor dings and surface scuffs. No lumps out of it though and tbh I prefer basses that i don't have to be too precious about in a gig situation. I would say it was a good 8/10 at least. The neck is beautifully played in with a nice softening of the edges and a C profile. G&L used a few different sizes of neck at that time - this measures 42mm or 1.65 inches wide at the nut (wider than a Jazz but narrower than a normal Precision). It's quite similar in feel to my old Nate Mendel Precision which was really nice.

All the electrics work spot on with no crackles or weird stuff going on. You really can get a huge range of different tones from these basses - they are very versatile from old skool passive to more modern active sounds. The truss rod bullet nut was replaced by the Bass Gallery a few months back as it was beginning to round off and a set up and fret level carried out at the same time. The truss rod works perfectly as a result and it plays beautifully with a nice low action. It has brand new strings on it too. There is a Hipshot DeTuner fitted at present but i will probably take that off (as it will fit my new bass) and the original G&L tuner will be refitted. If you want it left on talk to me about it - we can work something out but its NOT factored in to my asking price at present.

The original G&L hard case comes with the bass - a little beaten up but perfectly serviceable and no bad smells or anything!

Socially responsible collection from near Stansted Airport, happy to drive for a bit by arrangement for an equally socially responsible meet up. I do have a shipping box and it has the hard case so i think shipping is possible (I usually prefer not to but bearing in mind the current situation it's probably wise to offer it). I would want full payment upfront though and the courier arranged by the buyer in case they need to chase anything up - once it's left me it's up to you. I can send sound samples, video of packing, boxing and sealing before collection and provide great feedback links for reassurance.

Poss trades for a Handbox R400, Mesa Carbine, Musicman or Lakland 44-02 bass but i would prefer a straight sale ideally

Thanks for looking and pop me a message if you need any further info or pictures
