The L2000 is a low form Fender Precision designed by Leo Fender and George Fullerton (hence the name brand: G & L George & Leo), which has two humbuckers (type Musicman Stingray) and offers settings following:

- 1 knob for low frequency
- 1 knob for treble
- 1 volume knob
- A switch 3 positions: passive, active and active-boost acute
- A 2 position switch for phase micro
- A 3 position switch for the micro scale.

The handle is, too, like Precision Bass, that is fine with 22 frets. Everything is very well finished with varnish carefully chosen, solid wood, and an electronic unstoppable.

The model I have is manufactured and assembled in the United States.

Only downsides: no mechanical double d'huile and on my model, a chronic problem at the jack (I'm the third)

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, although a little stiff, and you walk easily, except in the latest boxes, or the body shape of the bass is a little embarrassing.

The weight of the bass is slightly elevated, but not asbolument not disabling.

SOUNDS

The big highlight of the low (what motivated my purchase) is its incredible versatility. Thanks to conbinaisons very well thought of electronics, you can switch between the slamming of the Red Hot Blood Sugar Sex Magik, to his great round with lots of infrabass the U2 Joshua Tree, through a sonoritées of many diverse and varied, and the whole, keeping color and character all its own.

I play on an Ashdown Mag 300 that illuminates all the frequencies and colors that I like, even in the studio and I used as a pre-amp and EQ.

The only flaw of this electronic gain a little too hard in the bass, which do not saturate some preamps. But it is a defect that is easily corrected either by decreasing the pulling rope or lowering the knob a little low.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this bass for ten years, and I do not sell it unlike almost any other I've had and I've rediscovered every time I changed my amp.

I blame him for the handle a little stiff at its disposal, but it is a meager price to pay for the sound that comes out of this gear.
