This used example comes in a clean Natural finish over a Swamp Ash body, and it sounds exactly like you'd hope: punchy, articulate, and deeply flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis G\u0026amp;L Tribute L-2500 is in Very Good condition. The guitar is fully functional and will go through a full tech set up prior to shipping. It has a Very Fine finish crack at heel, marks on bottom and top of bass, minor play wear. Please review the photos carefully for full condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever felt like your 4-string just wasn't quite giving you enough bottom end — or enough tonal variety — the L-2500 is worth a serious look. Its Tri-Tone preamp system and dual Magnetic Field Design humbuckers give you a staggering range of sounds on tap, from old-school passive warmth to wide-open active authority. And the Natural finish lets that Swamp Ash grain do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSwamp Ash Body and a Neck That Feels Like Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Swamp Ash body on the Natural finish L-2500 is a big part of what makes it sound the way it does — light in weight with a naturally bright, airy character that cuts through a mix without needing to fight for it. It's a classic pairing with a natural finish, and G\u0026amp;L has been using it on translucent and natural finish L-series basses for good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hard Rock Maple neck has a comfortable medium C profile and a 12-inch radius fretboard, making it an easy bass to get around on. The nut comes in at 1-3\/4 inches wide — a touch wider than a typical 4-string, which gives your left hand room to breathe without feeling like you're stretching for every note on the low B. The 34-inch standard scale length keeps tension familiar and comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Tri-Tone System: More Switches Than You'll Know What to Do With (At First)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tri-Tone control system is what makes the L-2500 genuinely versatile rather than just claiming to be. A trio of mini-toggle switches handles pickup selection, series\/parallel signal routing, and a 3-position preamp mode switch — letting you run full active, passive, or treble-boosted active. Three knobs take care of volume, treble, and bass. Altogether, this system gives you a huge range of usable tones without ever feeling like you're dialing in compromise settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two G\u0026amp;L Magnetic Field Design humbuckers are made in Fullerton, California — the same G\u0026amp;L facility that has been turning out these pickups since Leo Fender designed them. They have a warm, punchy character in passive mode and can really open up and growl when you engage the preamp. Players often find this bass equally at home laying down R\u0026amp;B grooves, hitting aggressive rock lines, or popping and slapping through a funk set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Saddle-Lock Bridge and 5-String Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeo Fender's Saddle-Lock bridge design transfers string energy directly into the body end-grain, rather than losing it at the bridge plate. The practical effect is a bass with noticeably strong sustain and excellent note definition — especially on that low B string, which can tend to sound flubby on lesser 5-string designs. Here it stays focused and defined at standard 34-inch scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo case or gig bag is included with this instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody: Swamp Ash in Natural finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck: Hard Rock Maple, medium C profile, 34\" scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\" (44.5mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFretboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickups: Dual G\u0026amp;L Magnetic Field Design (MFD) humbucking pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectronics: Tri-Tone system — 3-position pickup selector, series\/parallel switch, 3-position preamp mode switch, volume, treble, bass controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eActive\/passive switching for flexible tonal options\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Leo Fender-designed G\u0026amp;L Saddle-Lock, string-through-body configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-string configuration, standard 34\" scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo case or gig bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e G\u0026amp;L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tribute L-2500\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e U-L-2500|05026073\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
