The L-2000 is G&L's flagship bass model, launched in 1980 and designed by the legendary Leo Fender! Offering a super-wide range of tones, the iconic L-2000 continues to evolve and appeal to bassists well into the 21st Century — equipped to cover any style or musical taste! The L-2500 is a 5-string version of the L-2000, with the addition of a low B string giving you even more sonic legroom.
At the heart of the Tribute L-2500 bass is a pair of G&L's powerful MFD ('Magnetic Field Design') humbuckers, which are backed by the flexible 'Tri-Tone' preamp — a proprietary system that provides an incredible amount of versatility. What's more, the L-2500 boasts G&L's innovative Leo Fender-designed 'Saddle-Lock' bridge that transfers string energy right into the body for brilliant resonance and sustain.
The G&L Tribute Series L-2500 delivers the magic of Leo's revolutionary bass at a price attainable for every working musician. With its electronics wired at G&L's Fullerton factory in the USA too, this easily makes the L-2500 one of the best "bang-for-your-buck" basses out there!
Key Features
- Poplar Body — Often likened to Alder, Poplar is comparably balanced in sound with a slightly lighter feel.
- Medium "C" Maple Neck — Supportive neck shape offers comfortable playability for both modern and traditional bassists; enhanced with a slippery satin finish.
- Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
- G&L MFD Humbuckers — Emit a thick sound with plenty of punch! Utilising ceramic bar magnets, G&L's distinctive MFD design transfers the magnetic field to the top of the pickup; ensuring a warmer and more dynamic sound with a wider frequency response.
- Tri-Tone Active Preamp — Features a trio of mini toggles for pickup selection, series/parallel signal routing and active/passive operation, as well as a trifecta of knobs for volume, treble and bass. This system offers amazing versatility for any playing style, from poppin' funk to high-tech-fusion and aggressive metal!
- G&L 'Saddle-Lock' Bridge — Another Leo Fender innovation! Features a small Allen screw on the side of the unit, which presses all of the string saddles together so that they resonate as though they were one single mass; resulting in increased sustain.
