G&L Tribute L-2500 Bass Guitar - Black Frost

Conjure Up Your Dream Bass Tone

Emerging from the mind of Leo Fender in 1980, the G&L L-2000 bass was an industry game-changer, with a tremendous capacity for conjuring up seemingly limitless tones. Due to its flexibility, it found its way into the hands of players across many genres, playing in numerous styles. No matter what kind of tone someone was searching for, chances are, it lived inside the L-2000. The G&L Tribute L-2500 pays homage to its iconic predecessor, boasting the same versatility, classic appearance, and rock-solid build. Though it comes in at an amicable price, bass players will tell you — this is no budget bass! It comes stocked with two USA-made Magnetic Field Design humbuckers, G&L’s innovative Tri-Tone Control system, and Leo Fender’s groundbreaking Saddle-Lock bridge. Low and thunderous, punchy and articulate, and everything in between, the G&L Tribute L-2500 is a tone chasing bass player’s dream.

Visually striking and crafted for comfort

Classically styled with a contemporary twist, the Tribute L-2500 has undeniable visual appeal, and its thoughtful contour cuts make for an incredibly comfortable instrument that’s a delight to play. The Tribute L-2500’s hard-rock maple neck will satisfy nearly every player with a medium "C" profile and a smooth satin neck finish that makes for easy travel up and down the fretboard. To finish off its eye-catching aesthetics, the Tribute L-2500 sports a distinctive hook-style headstock emblazoned with the iconic G&L logo.

Magnetic Field Design pickups bring the thunder

The Tribute L-2500 owes much of its bone-rattling tone to its dual Magnetic Field Design humbuckers. Unique to G&L, Magnetic Field Design pickups are built around a ceramic bar magnet laid under each coil, and they feature individually adjustable pole pieces to give you complete control over your tone. Their inherent sound is warm and deep, with punchy high-mids and an open top-end. And, with double the output per wind over standard designs, the Magnetic Field Design pickups bring the thunder.

Tri-Tone control system offers boundless tone

Because G&L knows players can’t get enough when it comes to toneshaping, they outfitted the Tribute L-2500 with the versatile Tri-Tone control system. Created for ultimate flexibility, the Tri-Tone system offers nearly limitless tone control options, with mini-toggle switches for selecting a pickup, switchable signal routing options, passive and active modes, and high-quality pots for volume, treble, and bass. No matter your genre or style, the Tribute L-2500 has your tone!

Saddle-Lock bridge increases resonance and sustain

Another G&L innovation has found its way into the Tribute L-2500 — the G&L Saddle-Lock bridge. The Saddle-Lock bridge reduces the lateral movement of the saddle pieces by tightening an Allen screw on the side of the bridge. Additionally, the Saddle-Lock bridge has a solid protrusion on its backside that is sunk firmly into the instrument’s body wood. Together, these two features make it easier for string energy to travel into the body and translate into a rich, resonant, and sustaining sound.
