Three decades ago, the G&L L-2000 bass served notice that company founder Leo Fender was ready to disrupt the status quo. The bold, brash L-2000 has always been an exhilarating experience for players with the skill to pull it off. Now the new M-2000 and M-2500 harness that power with a sonic palate that will surprise and delight new and die-hard G&L fans alike.The M-2000 GTS packs all the innovations of the M-2000 into a bass that looks as badass as it performs. With its top-bound, maple-capped, carved mahogany body sporting a striking trans black finish and black headstock, this bass is ready to rock. But elegantly sinister looks are just the beginning.Leo’ MFD humbuckers have always been the heart of the iconic L-Series. In the all-new M-Series, these powerhouses are voiced to fully exploit a studio-quality 18v preamp system specially designed by G&L’ R&D wizard Paul Gagon. With an LF442 chip, 100v poly caps, 1% metal film resistors and big, fat signal traces on the mil-spec circuit board, this preamp reveals everything the player and the instrument have to offer.And there’ even more:Primary volume and pan controls to explore the full range of sounds available between the two pickups3-band EQ with peripherally placed, center-detent, reduced-diameter knobsAn impeccable, familiar œfeel of the instrument in the hands and on the shoulderThe return of the classic œC-shape 1-5/8 neck, discontinued by G&L in the 1980sIf laying down crushing bass lines is your thing, the M-2000 GTS has no equal, but this is no one-trick pony.
