I decided to hold off on a J Bass and wait until the "screaming deal" presents itself.
I found this (brand new) on Reverb, yesterday, also on sale.
G&L Tribute L-2000
Should be here tomorrow. Super-stoked!

Nice. Although it doesn't really sound like a jazz, I like my US L2500. I had a Tribute L2000 in the past and it was a good instrument. Very versatile. The only reason my L2500 is a US model is that the Ebay listing listed it as a Tribute. However, a close look at the pictures revealed it was probably a US.
On the US models, the toggle switches orient their throw neck to bridge. Tributes orient their toggles across the body. As a result of noticing this, I got a US model for the price of a Tribute ($600 in 2005).

Nice score!
Yeah, the J is on the back-burner for a while. I’ll wait for a deal. 😎

Congrats! G&L Tributes are fine instruments. The quality of my LB-100 is first rate. Looking at a Kilton model now. Enjoy.

Thanks!
I’ve got 2 G&L Tribute guitars; a Bluesboy and a S500. Both are tobacco burst on sassafras.
Regarding that, in the bolt-neck world, I don’t believe anyone does a burst as well as G&L.

They’ve been called the Swiss Army knife of basses . The Tribs are well made . I have a Korean L2500 from back when they first came out .

Did it arrive? I really like those pickups. I had a Tribute L-2500 many years ago. It sounded great.

It’s here. I haven’t spent enough time on it to post a review. 😕
But it is super nice and quite flexible. So far, I’m very pleased.

NICE bass!
I love the tone of those G&Ls; they are super punchy.

Is this because you don’t like it or fact don’t normally play bass and bought it for home use? |

No time. For instance, right now I’m in Chicago.
I’m really a guitar player any ways.
