please do post a pic :) I took a little chance on the color too - there aren't too many pics of vintage natural, but generally G&L finishes are really nice, so it should be good.

Thanks bhunt1, me like!

But I have to wonder how many of those limited edition l-1000 did G&L produce? I knew of Rocket, obviously, but Bass northwest is new for me and I am wondering if there are others...

Thx!

Yeah I don't know how many are being done. Bass Northwest has 4 in stock right now, and Greg from Rocket said he will do another order if there is interest. Still, the total can't be more than a few dozen. I wonder if they might bring back the L1000 as a regular model. They did bring back the LB100 after a long absence, so we'll see I guess.

Well I hope that making a dozen or two of the l-1000 won't motivate G&L to manufacture more: it will seriously diminish the value of ours :(

Yeah I thought so too its like 2 1/2 weeks from when I ordered it. Either they're not very busy or they're giving this a priority. Rocket is a pretty active dealer maybe it's a favor for them dunno.

Yippee Yeah!

Greg, where is my beloved L-1000? You received on Thursday so I was expecting Friday morning next to my chemney like it was Santa morning, no?

Kidding of course, when do you plan to ship? Let me know how you want to get paid for the remaining balance...

Can you post a pic for us all to see?

Thanks for the opportunity!

I haven't seen Greg in these parts, but he is supposed to post pics soon. Yolly - he should have sent you a bill already. If not, email or pm him. He did send me one. He posted a sound clip of one of the L1000s in the thread here - sounds like a 1K, and that's a good thing:
