FACTOIDS & TRIVIA

Though the L-1000 was listed in the 1992 catalog, production for this model pretty much ended by mid-year.  However, a few trickled out of the factory after regular production ceased.  These basses are rather rare and the bass shown here is an extremely late example of an L-1000.
