Wow, that thing sure is nice looking! Nice cherry burst, and I like how those big PUPs and bridge stand out on it. Looks like it means business!

I had to allow home.comcast.net to set a cookie. I really hate it when sites will go into a crazy redirect loop without a cookie. Anyway, I can see them now. Very slick bass, that's for sure.

2 words: YUM ME.
That has bawlz, dude :. I love the intensity of the heavy duty bridge and massive p'ups. Looks pretty sweet. Haven't played G&L basses before, but if they are anything like "Leo Rev. 2.0" Strats and Teles it'd be a beaut!
Good score!

First the knobs. The top one is volume, the middle one is a treble cut, and the bottom is a bass cut knob. The separate bass and treble controls are a Leo Fender innovation that he brought to G&L, and it is used on the L-2000.Originally Posted by t_ross33
The top toggle is a 3-way pickup selector. The middle toggle is a 2-way series or parallel select, I think it puts the coils in the humbucker in series versus parallel wiring. This bass has an active preamp that runs off of a 9-volt battery. The bottom toggle is a 3-way: up is preamp with treble boost, middle is preamp on, down is preamp off.
With all these control options this bass can create a lot of different tones, I'm still learning about them.
I'm not new to G&L guitars, I have one which is a telecaster shaped body but with 3 pickups. It also has a mini toggle that turns on a bridge and neck pickup combination, or even a bridge, mid, and neck pickup combination. These combinations are not possible on a Strat with regular wiring.
Hey Aeolian, can you put up a headstock shot too one of these days? It looks pretty from afar, but I would like to look at it up close and personal. That is really a sweet looking unit.

Looks great but those toggle placements would drive me mad being right in front of the knobs.

Hi Steve, I don't have a picture of the whole headstock. There is a chip in the headstock so I took a closeup picture of it.Originally Posted by sunvalleylaw
This is a stock photo from the G&L website of the bass which just happens to be the same color as mine. You can see the headstock in proportion to everything else.
Brian, I don't claim to be a bass player. I bought a cheap bass 4 years ago because in order for my recordings to sound complete I needed bass. I barely learned how to play since; I essentially just play to make up a bassline and record it for whatever song I happen to be recording.Originally Posted by Brian Krashpad
I did decide that I may want to find a better bass, since I don't really even know what a good bass should sound like. And this deal just fell into my lap this week.
Since I'm not in a band situation I don't know whether the toggles will interfere with playing live or not. When I record obviously I can fiddle with it all I want before I record my 3 minutes of bass. I did consult with a number of knowledgeable bass players who plays this instrument and I have not heard anyone saying that the toggle placements are a problem. May be some of the bass players on this site will chime in on the topic.
Cool! The stock shot shows it pretty nicely. But your other one isn't working just now for me. Sure looks nice though.
