Like I said, I only had a couple minutes today, and I only have a little guitar combo at home. I'll see if I can get some clips at rehearsal next week.

How's the weight and neck on it?

I'm the wrong guy to ask about weight, because I've never really been all that sensitive to heavy basses. I'm a big guy and I've never had back problems, so I don't mind playing a 10 or 11 pound bass for a 3-hour set. I know that some guys would end up in traction if they tried to do that.

I like the neck, it's reasonably fast. But if you're looking for a thin jazz-like neck, you won't like it. I like fat necks.

Lol fat neck and heavy bass is actually what I'm looking for. My jazz being all maple weighs about four or five pounds more than my p bass, and you can tell by how they sound. I like a good and thick heavy bass with a chunky p bass neck. Better tone, and to me I can play them a lot better. Prolly cause its closer to my upright.

The L-2500 is solid swamp ash. As a wild-ass-guess, I'd say it's around 10 pounds. And yeah, fat p-type neck.

No huge rush...I've not heard one of those before (usually don't get a lot of options here in the valley unless a used one shows up somewhere) and I've been curious about the tone in general. LOVE the orange, btw and tell me (again) what the switches are for, please.

And yeah - the douche thread has been a highlight of the week here. Dude just will not let it go.

From left to right, the switches are: passive/active/active w/top boost | series/parallel | bridge/both/neck

After a week of fighting it, I finally succumbed to the Dark Side and commented.
