Player's Perspective

The L-2000 combines unmatched comfort with versatile, powerful electronics, creating one of the best all-purpose basses on the market. The neck and fretboard feel incredibly smooth. The PLEK'd frets allow for super low action and incredibly easy playability so all you have to worry about is letting the creative juices flow. G&L uses a smooth, velvety finish on their necks, so it still feels like bare wood and will never glob up on you. Tone-wise, this bass is an absolute beast! It manages to provide seemingly unlimited sonic options and the pickups pump out some solid mid-range so you'll never get lost in a mix. This bass can be a complete bulldozer, taking down everything in it's path. Or you can dial in a subtle and vintage vibe that is mellow and stays out of the way of all the other instruments. It's really the epitomy of a swiss army knife bass. It can be run in passive mode, active mode, or active with a sizzling treble boost. There's also a series/parallel switch for deep and thick tones or punchy, growly, and more burpy. You can dial in your exact sound and be as specific as you want, whether you play blues, metal, jazz, rock, country, or funk. If you need a bass that can do it all, this is it.

Special Features

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 throughout its evolution, the iconic L-2000 has continued to win the hearts of bassists of every style and musical taste.

The foundation of the L-2000 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, Leo gave the L-2000 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-2000 features an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument.
