G&L CLF Research L-2500 Series 750 USA - Lightweight 4.3kg, 19mm Spacing, Ultra-Low Action Masterpiece
Up for sale is a top-tier, premium model from G&L's American workshop: the G&L CLF Research L-2500 Series 750 (Made in USA).
The "Series 750" is highly sought after because it features a 19mm (0.750") string spacing at the bridge—the exact same wide, comfortable spacing as a standard 4-string bass, making it incredibly natural to play for both fingerstyle and slapping.
[Exceptional Playability & Setup]
This particular bass is set up to absolute perfection. It boasts an ultra-low action (currently sitting around 1.0mm on the 1st string and 1.2mm on the 5th string) without buzz, allowing for effortless, fast execution across all 22 frets.
While many USA L-2500 basses are notoriously heavy—often pushing well over 5kg (11+ lbs)—this prime specimen weighs in at a highly desirable approx. 4.3kg (9.48 lbs). Despite its comfortable weight, it features immaculate balance with zero neck dive.
[Premium Hardware & Aesthetics]
Every single component on this bass feels premium. The tuning keys turn butter-smooth and lock into pitch with clinical precision, making tuning an absolute joy. The extra-wide strap pin buttons provide maximum security, ensuring your strap will never accidentally slip off. The front-mounted output jack is also a massive quality-of-life feature on stage.
The finish is a breathtaking Metallic Red with subtle sparkle. It has a deep, rich hue that looks incredibly luxurious and regal under the light without being overly flashy.
[Sound & Powerful Tonal Versatility]
As an owner of multiple USA L-2000 and L-2500 basses, I can confidently say this specific unit is exceptionally powerful. The Tri-Tone control system offers an endless palette of tones. It has a signature crisp, addictive top-end clarity. Thanks to its ideal weight, the low-end is perfectly focused and punchy—never muddy, boomy, or loose, making it incredibly easy to mix.
Furthermore, the volume pot is extraordinarily transparent; rolling it back maintains your core tone perfectly, allowing you to easily tame the bass's immense natural power.
For Beginners to the G&L System: Simply diming all controls yields a massive, perfectly balanced, and highly articulate modern bass sound that cuts right through.
For Advanced Players: You can fully manipulate the Series/Parallel switches, active/passive modes, and pickup selector. From a dominating, thick wooly tone to a razor-sharp, rhythmic punch, this bass follows your picking dynamics flawlessly, allowing you to position your sound exactly where it needs to be in any ensemble.
This is a meticulously thought-out, hyper-practical "do-it-all" workhorse of the highest order.
