Tony Hill's 1981 L-2000
posted on G&L's Facebook page on January 4, 2018: Quote: Our friend Tony Hill has played his 1981 L-2000 for more than 30 years. Being a lefty, Tony played this heavyweight righty upside down and put rubber caps over the pot shafts to make them more comfortable against his forearm than the original machined knobs. Though Tony loves this bass, he needed a change and we had an idea. We're building him a proper lefty L-2000 that'll be much lighter, and swapping him for his '81. Here's Tony in Leo's lab, playing a farewell groove before leaving this bass with us here on Fender Avenue. It's a homecoming we'll never forget. Thanks, Tony!

Posted on G&L's Facebook page January 20, 2018: Quote: Our '81 L-2000 (thanks, Tony!) is just so sweet. Still haven't put some original CLF Research knobs on yet, though we can scrounge some up in Leo's Lab.

Quote: Finally installed some CLF Research knobs on Tony's '81 L-2000. These are old knobs I borrowed from Leo's lab. I think he wouldn't mind.

Re: Tony Hill's 1981 L-2000
Quote: Tony's '81 L-2000. 11.4 pounds of glorious tone. The new CLF Research L-2000s are far lighter, like 8.x pounds. But this old thing has a wonderful story and so much soul.
