Custom G&L M-2500 2013 Gloss over East Indian Walnut

Up for grabs is this like new G&L M-2500. Only used for a few gigs, this bass has barely been touched. One slight cosmetic issue - a small ding on the top side of the neck around the third fret which does mot affect playability in any way. This bass was a prototype built by G&L - one of the first built using "Monkeypod" (East Indian Walnut). G&L's description from their website:

Serial Number: CLF065093
Date Completed: June 29, 2012
Description: Monkey Pod (East Indian Walnut) body with Teak Oil treatment under clear gloss finish, Quartersawn Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard and Clear Satin finish.
Special Features: The first Monkey Pod instruments we made were finished with a combination of teak oil and clear satin finish. Next we wanted to see how a gloss finish would look as well as verify that the clear gloss finish adheres properly to the teak oil treated body. After some successful experiments on some small pieces of Monkey Pod, we made this complete M-2500.

Overview
Three decades ago, the G&L L-2000™ bass served notice that company founder Leo Fender† was ready to disrupt the status quo. The bold, brash L-2000 and the L-2500™ five-string that followed have always been an exhilarating experience for players with the skill to pull it off. Now the new M-2000™ and M-2500 harness that power with a sonic palate that will surprise and delight new and die-hard G&L fans alike.

Leo's MFD humbuckers have always been the heart of the iconic L-Series. In the all-new M-Series, these powerhouses are voiced to fully exploit a studio-quality 18v preamp system specially designed for them. With an LF442 chip, 100v poly caps, 1% metal film resistors and big, fat signal traces on the mil-spec circuit board, this preamp reveals everything the player and the instrument have to offer. And there's even more:

• Primary volume and pan controls to explore the full range of sounds available between the two pickups• 3-band EQ with peripherally placed, center-detent, reduced-diameter knobs• An impeccable, familiar "feel" of the instrument in the hands and on the shoulder
For slapping, rolling back some highs and dialing up some lows, coupled with a mid-range boost, magnifies the intensity that Leo's humbuckers are famous for. Need more definition for fingerstyle? Just bring up the treble and roll off the bass for a nuanced and detailed sound. Headroom? The new M-Series preamp harnesses the power of those meaty MFD humbuckers without a hint of clipping. The best tools are simple, intuitive and easy to use, and that's exactly what you'll find in the new M-Series package. Truly, it's the evolution of Leo's revolution.
