    G&L

    A working musician's 5-string from the legendary genius of Leo Fender and G&L.

    When Leo Fender launched the G&L L-2000 bass in 1980, it was clear he was ready to make history all over again. Never before had such a wide range of tones come from a single bass, and today the L-2500 packs all the features of the latest L-2000 into a 5-string.

    Like its L-2000 brother, the foundation of the L-2500 is a pair of G&L Magnetic Field Design humbuckers backed by the flexible Tri-Tone control system, providing the sort of versatility that’ll let you find your tone no matter what kind of bass line you’re laying down. The Tri-Tone system features a trio of mini toggles for pickup selection, series/parallel signal routing and active/passive operation, as well as a trio of knobs for volume, treble and bass. With all that under the hood, the L-2500 brings the kind of chops that’ll fit in any situation, from classic R&B to power-packed rock to poppin’ funk. What’s more, the L-2500 features an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument.

    The Tribute Series L-2500 delivers the magic of Leo’s revolutionary design at a price attainable for every working musician.

    Features

    • 34" Scale
    • Two Leo Fender-designed G&L MFD humbucking pickups made in Fullerton, California
    • Swamp Ash body
    • Hard-Rock Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard

    • 22 Medium jumbo frets, nickel

        Comments about G&L Tribute L2500 5-String Electric Bass Guitar:

        I bought one of these with a maple fretboard several years ago because I wanted to see what Leo Fenders last contribution to the bass world had going for it. First, even though its a tribute model, all the hardware and electronics are the exact same ones you get on the USA model so you get the authentic G&L sound and stability. The action, intonation and playability are superb, as is the tone. With all the tweaks you can get out of the electronics I can get pretty much any tone you could get from any Fender or Musicman bass all in one package. The blue stain is absolutely stunning and the fretwork is about average for a guitar in this price range. The neck is a thing of beauty with wonderful watering in the maple thats so deep you might even think that there are divots in the finish! So if you want an extremely versatile stage or studio bass then you simply cannot go wrong with this axe. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that this bass is HEAVY. While it balances quite well the swamp ash body seems to still have about half the swamp in it cause it weighs a ton and if you have a bad back this is not the bass for you, unless you play in a band where sitting is acceptable. The other issue I had with it is you have to remove the plate on the back, which has 6 screws, in order to change out the battery so its in your best interest to do so prior to hitting a stage with it cause its not a quick process. On the bright side the compartment is fully shielded, the wiring is solid and tidy but the only thing missing is a battery box (the addition of which may have relieved some of the weight issues!). All in all I don't regret the purchase in any way. I use this on stage frequently, along with a late 80's Fender Power Jazz Bass, and between the two I have never been wanting for another guitar (even though I have many, many more to choose from including Warwicks, Epiphones, Gibsons, Steinbergers, ect to choose from). If you're a serious musician then buy it, it's a serious bass.

          I love this bass.Ive been rocking the Tribute L2500 for over a year now.I play a steady two gigs a month with this thing.The tone is amazing I play this Bass passive and its got some ballz.It takes some switch flipping and knob turning to to get the sound right.If your looking for heavy gain its got it.I also like the string spacing it gives you alittle more room than a Sound gear bass and alittle less room then a Fender jazz bass.

          Comments about G&L Tribute L2500 5-String Electric Bass Guitar:

          This bass is an excellent bass, don't get me wrong. It gives you tones within the fender p, fender jazz and music man range. No wonder it was the last line of basses Leo Fender made after selling out fender and music man.
          I had a very terrible experience with my truss rod, and now I can't get the action low. From my understanding, I am not the only person to have such an experience. Worse of all is the price G&L charges for a new neck. Enough said
