    My new G&L, Stingray, Precision Hybrid

    I'm enjoying this new creation of mine so much, I thought I'd share it with the group. What you're seeing here is a 1988 G&L L1000 ash body that was originally Clear Blue. I had a body finishing guy on the east coast finish it in black/red or "Blackberry". The neck is from a 1983 G&L SB-2.. 1...

    G&L L1000

    Will consider trades for light P Bass, Stingray, or EUB. Pretty much mint. Great bass, but I’m thinking I’m more of a P/J guy. Alder body, Ebony fingerboard. 9.4 lbs. on my bathroom scale. The color is graphite metallic. The “L1000” model name was dropped from the headstock at the time...

    It's Sunday and I'm being avoidant about studying for an industry exam that I take next month. I don't really want to part with this bass but, given how much money we've spent recently at my house, it probably needs to go. I just acquired this super cool '87 L-1000 in a trade. And then promptly...

It's an incredibly light bass at 6lb 14oz and balances well. It's been in a case for a while now as I play my L2000 for virtually everything nowadays. One...

    G&L L-1000 Series 750 5-string -- Thoughts?

    I recently purchased a Yamaha BBP 35 as my sole 5-string...first one I've owned in over a decade. It's cool, but in P-bass "mode" (without the bridge pickup), the B-string is not great. And I prefer the more open/natural sound of a single pickup, vice the phasey constricted sound of both...

    What in the World is Going on with My L1000 Controls?

    I just received my EV Evolve 50 powered PA speaker yesterday and am testing it out. The L1000 controls behave normally through regular bass amps. My other basses perform normally through the Evolve 50. https://youtube.com/shorts/h0I6D0pqrp4?feature=share
