Howdy G&L lovers, it's been six months since I got this L2000 in a trade and I am way overdue sharing photos and how much I am digging it. I traded an amazing fretless L2000 for it. The fretless was something special as well but I really missed having frets and couldn't justify having two L2Ks, not with a LB100 in the house. This Fullerton Red L2K may not look like anything special but it has the tone - organic or alive would be words I would use to describe it. And there are a couple of somewhat unique things about it (not counting the extra strap button hole on the forearm contour) - the last owner had it wired to be passive by the late great Mike Lull so the that parallel/series functionality has been split out to the two back switches. I am not much of an active guy and find this mod to quite useful. the other seemingly unique thing is that it has a one piece maple neck. the last owner told me that Lull said he had never seen that (or rarely had, I don't recall...) regardless, this is a real keeper and has made me such a believer again (I had a L2K years ago but didn't connect with it for whatever reason). I still GAS for other basses at times but with a bass like this, it is hard for me to buy another one without getting to play it first (that being said, those CLF L2ks are very tempting!)
Great score My son has an L2000 and loves it. Can do about anything yer looking for in a bass.
Enjoy and play loud!

That is a seriously good looking bass, red is the best . I saw someone playing a very well worn early '80s fretless L2K a few months ago and have been lusting after one ever since, it sounded great
