L-2000 Bass Ad Slick

The L-2000 appeared alongside the L-1000 in the 1980 catalog, but production of the L-2000 officially began in 1981 after changes were made.

The pre-production example in the 1980 catalog has the two pickups positioned as they were in the Sabre. The control plate was in the typical CLF “banana” shape but wider than the Sabre. A separate switch for treble boost was included. The production L-2000 in 1981 had the two pickups roughly bookend the position of the Stingray pickup. The control plate became the notched style. The treble boost switch was deleted in favor of the 3-position preamp mini toggle (off/on/on with treble boost).

Hope my memory is correct on the treble boost switch. Any fans out there dig into that?
