An iconic bass with modern appointments for exceptional tone.
The G&L CLF Research L-2500 electric bass blends vintage vibe with contemporary innovations for superb sound and playability. Drawing from Leo Fender's original designs, the swamp ash body and slim maple neck offer exceptional comfort while the Alnico V pickups and preamp provide exceptional tonal control. With its sleek looks and smooth feel, the CLF Research L-2500 lets you craft your ideal bass tone.
Swamp Ash Body Resonates With Sustain
The one-piece swamp ash body generates exceptional resonance for singing sustain and organic warmth. Swamp ash inherently enhances note articulation with its bright yet balanced tonality. Combined with the chambered design that allows the wood to vibrate freely, the swamp ash body produces full lows, snappy mids and clear highs. Let the swamp ash body bring out the richness and clarity in your playing.
Maple Neck Promises Speed And Comfort
The CLF Research L-2500 features a slim, fast maple neck that makes playing a breeze. The satin finish allows your hand to glide smoothly along the neck as you fly up and down the fingerboard. The shallow profile provides comfort, while the maple construction adds snap and presence to the tone. Whether practicing scales or nailing a funky line, the CLF Research L-2500's neck gives you the speed you need.
Alnico V Pickups Deliver Legendary Tone
The CLF Research L-2500 utilizes Alnico V pickups for exceptional tone. Alnico V magnets possess natural compression and enhanced dynamics, providing warmth and clarity that brings out the best in each note. From round lows to crisp highs, the Alnico V pickups capture the nuances of your playing. Famously used by legends like McCartney and Jamerson, Alnico V pickups give the CLF Research L-2500 that sought-after vintage vibe.
Shape Your Sound With The Onboard Preamp
The CLF Research L-2500 puts tonal shaping right at your fingertips. The built-in preamp lets you boost mids for a punchy slap sound, add lows for a rich fingerstyle tone and cut highs to smooth out the attack. Whether you want vintage warmth or modern edge, the preamp provides the tone tweaking you need. Just plug in and sculpt the perfect sound.
