This is right near me, but does not appear to be listed locally.

I will go against the grain and say that I like the tiny headstock. :P

One neat thing about these is that the routing under the pickguard allows ...

I guess RIC is making a short-scale, now. And, this is how they are doing it. This is just so RIC. It serves the purpose, but … I don’t know. Maybe our friends who like short-scale basses can chime in as to whether or not this might work.

I love ya, RIC. I really do. I will never part with mine ...

I just did a little experiment to determine if the L-2000 preamp draws from the battery even when in passive mode, and indeed it does.

I then removed the battery to see if the bass still operates normally in passive mode without the battery, and it does. So, really, the L-2000 can be completely ...

This one seems to have trouble finding a forever home. If I were made of money I would snatch it up and take off the octave strings just to see what an aluminum bass is like. I am an engineer by trade, so I am really interested in alternative materials and technologies. I have heard aluminum has its ...

There's an old L-2000 on Medford Craigslist:

That’s great, Willie! I am so glad to have found something that works for you!

Very cool! We look forward to seeing the progress!

Well, Tim, I partially took your advice about the K-mod. I did what I am calling a “C-mod”, which is a half-assed K-mod. I did a little bit of digging and a fair bit of thinking (which I am not really good at), poked around with my meter, and I was able to install a couple of temporary jumpers to ...

Hello
I've decided to sell this rare Fender Jazzbass JB 75 US bass.
A left-handed model, which makes it so rare, with a unique mojo.
It's just 50 years old, played by a Parisian bassist ...

It doesn’t darken it by itself, no. It just conditions the wood and gives it a finish to bring out the natural color of the wood. Like if you have ever seen those wood turning videos on YouTube, when wood gets sanded it gets all pale and ashy, but when a finish gets applied, even a transparent ...

Howard Feed-N-Wax is the stuff, guys! Check out what it did for this fretboard:

Before:


After:

The electronics are the same, as are the bridge and tuners. The only differences are cosmetic. They are:

1) The CLF electronics cavity is top-routed and covered with the metal plate like a Jazz bass, whereas the standard is rear-routed.

2) The CLF has the, “Lawsuit” headstock. Supposedly, this is ...

Yeah, I may do that. I had the thought that if I were to do that, I may not even need my MJ-4 any longer. :lol:

I definitely won’t be doing that myself, though. I have zero soldering skills. I have seen videos where the guy is like, “okay, tin the tip here, touch the wire to the iron and then add ...

I am really a single-coil guy, but when I saw this, I just had to snatch this up. BEHOLD!!

The final cost, after tax and shipping, was $1505.44. Maybe too much. Maybe a good deal. I really don't know. There is an older, nice-looking, 3-bolt L-2000 on Reverb for ...

Yeah, I am guessing Eastwood probably realized there isn’t too much demand for a lefty two-string bass, so they made the business decision to leave plenty of wood on the sides to do just that!

Sold!
I guess that is what happens when a seller doesn’t get the Reverb memo that Ricks are to be listed for no less than $4000 no matter their age or condition!

Even more of a steal, now:
