DISC G & L Tribute L2500 Custom 5-String Bass Guitar, Natural

Full Description

Like its L-2000 brother, the foundation of the L-2500 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, the L-2500 brings 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-2500 features an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock? bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument.

The Tribute® Series L-2500 delivers the magic of Leo?s revolutionary design at a price attainable for every working musician. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you?ll never look back.

The G&L Saddle-Lock Bridge:

The G&L Saddle-Lock® bridge is used on the full range of G&L basses. This design was revolutionary for a number of reasons. The most significant feature is a small Allen screw on the side of the bridge, which presses all the saddles together so they resonate as though they were one single mass. This eliminates the loss of string vibration energy caused by side-to-side saddle movement inherent in other designs.

The bottom side of the bridge has a large protrusion which fits into a route in the body. The protrusion fits snugly against the end grain of the body wood, allowing the highly resonant bridge to transfer much more of the string vibration energy directly to the core of the body.

The G&L Non-Compression Truss Rod:

G&L's contemporary, non-compression design incorporates a secondary, flat-sided rod which bows away from primary rod. Unlike a vintage truss rod, this design does not compress the neck longitudinally in order to function; compression is undesirable because it tends to distort the curvature of the fingerboard. Operation is both fluid and accurate with the articulation of the neck, the "relief", being very consistent across the length of the neck.
