Confirmation on factory strings gauge for L-2000 USA

Post by Canaro1974 »

Hello to everyone, I own a L-2000 USA (already entered in Registry as S/N CLF28639)...

I've found some discrepancy in factory strings gauge for my bass:

1) in a old FAQ (http://www.guitarsbyleo.com/faq-old.php3#Q16) it's specified .045-.065-.085-.105 (that is exactly corresponding to Ernie Ball #2833 set "Hybrid Slinky Bass" that I'm using since 2005)

2) today, in new version of forum, I've found in this post (http://guitarsbyleo.com/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=25) that now it's .045-.060-.085-.100

So, there a small difference in both D and E strings...

Which version should I trust? There's been a change in standard factory strings gauge?

Thank you in advance for replies.

The post in the G&L Knowledgebase: What gauge & brand of strings does G&L use on their guitars? is
the most current. In 2006 G&L changed string supplier and the gauges changed as you noted, due to this.

Hope this helps.
