Please refer to the picture of the build sheet for the exact specifications of this instrument.

The new Wide5 of Fender Avenue is the biggest thing since Leos L2000 hit back in 81. The CLF Research L1000 Series 750 brings back the best of the iconic passive G&L bass from 1980, with 5 Strings and wide spacing. After all, its in the name: Leos four-strings have three-quarter-inch string spacing, so weve got 3/4? > 0.750? > 19.03mm. When someone says a five-string has nineteen millimeter string spacing, thats just a metric conversion of Leos original four-string spec, so here on Fender Avenue its gotta be Seven-Fifty. The L1000 Series 750 is for players who want the full three-quarter inch spacing on the vintage G&L wunkay they know.Other features include:

Its that rounded, fast shape of the neck combined with the slick feel of an old gloss finish. Its the clean, modern aesthetic of the original CLF/G&L headstock.

Its the tactile delight of those beautiful CLF Research knobs shimmering from an elegant chrome control plate. And of course, theres the legendary punch of the L1000s 5 String MFD humbucker in OMG mode.

Now take all that goodness and pack it into the slimmer mid-90s L-Series body shape for added comfort and lower weight, and you can make it through that 3 hour gig with tone and style to spare.

And when youre on the road, you can count on the neck to be more stable than those beloved vintage wunkays, with a modern dual-action truss rod and twin graphite stiffening rods. Add it all up and youve got the best of the vintage CLF vibe with the best of modern G&L elements.

In the late 1970s, Clarence Leo Fender was looking forward to launching his new G&L brand featuring his latest innovations including Magnetic Field Design pickups and the Saddle Lock bridge. Leo developed these technologies at his CLF Research company, and production of the new G&L instruments took place in the CLF Research factory on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, where G&L production continues today.The CLF Research L1000 Series 750 is a fully modern wunkay that pays homage to its roots with classic details including the early CLF/G&L headstock and neck profile, beautifully reproduced CLF knobs and control plate, and red-capped mini toggle switch.
