FACTOIDS & TRIVIA
The L-2000 remained unaltered in the G&L line-up from late 1982 to
late 1987 when the front loaded controls were changed to rear loaded controls.
This was done in order to give the bass a cleaner appearance by eliminating
the control plate on the front of the body. During the Leo Fender era,
the L-2000 Signature was only offered in 1991 making pre-BBE examples very
scarce.
