That initial run, which was one helluva surprise, is complete, and I'd guess that the basses from it are in player's hands.

So, you might give a dealer a call and ask them to contact G&L as to availability. Rocket Music might be able to help with this.

I'm afraid you can't. They only made a handful of them, and I bought the last 2 they had for a customer about a month ago...

Maybe they'll bring them back down the road...

Thanks for the info

I don't know if it's ok to post this Ken, but here's an L-1000 with alnico pickup for sale and the price is good: http://www.martinmusicguitar.com/store/ ... -3264.html

Feel free to delete that link if it is against forum rules, I checked and didn't see anything against it.

I'd prefer it down in Treasures, but you can leave it here if you want. Kinda fits, actually.

Ken...

I may have the opportunity of buying one of these and I'm interested because it has a maple neck and my otherwise perfect Wunkay has, less favoured to me, rosewood and I don't really like the dark red colour. Total vanity.
I am interested in the newer, empress body only if I can be s comfortable with the sound as I am with my old'n.

Any other comments from the OP, now some months have passed with your rather gorgeous bass in your ownership?

Does anyone else have one of these with the alnico pups who can comment on a sound comparison with an older Wunkay?

( I can't go and try the bass in which I'm interested, wrong side of the water!

I'd send a message to Greg. Actually, I just did

I just got this L1000 in a trade,couple months ago. 2017 Blue Burst,with maple fret board. Love the body binding.and glad it don't have a battery to worry about? Previous owner got it from Rocket Music,I think?

Yep, that looks like my photos.

Congrats, that's a lovely bass!

Thank you,Greg,I love the blue burst,and especially the body binding. Also just got a Cherry Burst L2000 recently,few dings and finish cracks,but nothing I can't deal with. Take Care!
