The CLF Research L-1000: An Icon Returns
The new CLF Research L-1000 brings back the best of the iconic passive G&L bass from 1980. Fans of the vintage G&L “wunkay” know what we're talking about.
It’s that rounded, fast shape of the neck combined with the slick feel of an old gloss finish. It’s the clean, modern aesthetic of the original CLF/G&L headstock.
It’s the tactile delight of those beautiful CLF Research knobs shimmering from an elegant chrome control plate. And of course, there’s the legendary punch of the L-1000’s MFD humbucker in OMG mode.
Now take all that goodness and pack it into the slimmer mid-90s L-Series body shape for added comfort and lower weight, and you can make it through that 3 hour gig with tone and style to spare.
And when you’re on the road, you can count on the neck to be more stable than those beloved vintage wunkays, with a modern dual-action truss rod and twin graphite stiffening rods. Add it all up and you’ve got the best of the vintage CLF vibe with the best of modern G&L elements.
The new CLF Research L-1000 is a fully modern “wunkay” that pays homage to its roots with classic details including the early CLF/G&L headstock and neck profile, beautifully reproduced CLF knobs and control plate, and red-capped mini toggle switch tip.
Thin urethane finish choices are:
•Pharaoh Gold Firemist over basswood with Caribbean rosewood fingerboard
•Old School Tobacco Sunburst over Okoume with Caribbean rosewood fingerboard
•Rally Red over basswood with maple fingerboard
•Natural Ash with maple fingerboard
•Royal Purple over Basswood with Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard [Added 1/2020]
•Blueburst over Swamp Ash with maple fingerboard [Added 1/2020]

That’s a sample reissue CLF Research guitar knob. Looks awesome, so we’re gonna do a production run of them and they should be in the online store in July. I just love these things.
