A rare piece of Leo Fender’s legacy, this 1995 G&L L-5500 5-String Active Bass delivers professional-level craftsmanship, powerful tone, and the unmistakable feel of a USA-made G&L instrument. Finished in a beautiful Transparent Amber, this bass showcases the natural character of the wood while offering the versatility and punch that made the L-Series a favorite among serious players.

Built with a comfortable 34" scale, premium neck construction, and active electronics, the L-5500 provides huge low-end response, clear articulation, and plenty of tonal flexibility for everything from studio work to live performance. The dual EMG humbuckers deliver a modern, powerful voice with excellent clarity and sustain, making this bass equally at home in rock, funk, fusion, and heavier styles.

Early USA-made G&L L-5500 models are becoming increasingly appreciated by collectors and players looking for high-quality American basses outside the usual brands. Complete with its hardshell case, this 1995 example is a unique combination of rarity, performance, and vintage G&L character.
