Price: €1,750

For sale: a beautiful late-1980s American-made G&L L-2000, from the Leo Fender era, featuring a stunning ebony fingerboard and gloss black finish, fantastic neck.

A fantastic example of G&L’s early craftsmanship, combining powerful MFD pickups, versatile electronics and the distinctive feel of these vintage instruments.

Specifications:

Model: G&L L-2000 USA
Year: Circa 1988–1989
Serial number: B020093
Finish: Gloss Black
Maple neck with ebony fingerboard
Two G&L MFD humbuckers
Active/passive electronics with three mini-toggle switches
Original-style G&L Saddle-Lock bridge
Weight: around 4,3kg
La Bella flatwound strings
Vintage SKB hard case included

Dating and serial number:

The bass is generally identified as a 1989 model. Interestingly, its serial number (B020093) falls just below B020106, which is listed in some historical G&L serial-number references as the first recorded number for 1989.

This suggests a possible late-1988 or early-1989 production date. However, G&L serial numbers from this period were not strictly sequential, so the exact manufacturing date cannot be confirmed without checking the neck and body date stamps.

Condition:

Very good vintage condition overall, with a few small chips and cosmetic signs of age, mainly along the body edges, as shown in the photographs.

The black finish and ebony fingerboard give this instrument a particularly elegant, understated appearance.

A great opportunity to own an American-made G&L from the late Leo Fender period.
