Just walked out to the warehouse and saw this Tribute Series L-2000 about to get set up. Wow, that is a gorgeous Swamp Ash body. - Dave

Swamp Ash is always awesome looking. One piece tops are perfect. Now that I've said that, I'd love to see a book matched version...

I noticed that after closer inspection. Pretty good grain matching. I assumed it was a top since the grain looked spot on

In 1996-97 G&L offered the ASAT Classic Custom, L-1500 Custom, L-2000 Custom, L-2500 Custom and L-5500 Custom.
They all came with an Alder body with a bookmatched Ash top. Here' are a couple of them from the 1996-97 G&L Catalog:

Craig,

I still yet have to see a G&L bass that I don't like. They all look awesome and the burst has a great vibe. Might have to check the used market for one of these...
