If I post a link to your site and for some reason you don't want me to use it, PM me and I'll remove it. I'd appreciate it if you use pictures in your thread, that you keep the link to your pictures current so we are not looking at a bunch of little red X's
The L1500/1505/Climax Treble Boost Mod The L-1500 Treble Boost Mod My older G&L hums (buzzes) in series mode. Can anything be done about it? I'm now ALL G&L Here are some links that daveplaysbass sent me about G&L pickup and wiring mods

Here's something I grabbed and put in a Word document regarding coil types (series, parallel, bass boost, single, etc).

Here's the document many have used to go the single coil route. For $25 in parts and a less than 10 solder joints, you can transform a L2K style instrument to a L1K style instrument.

I bought a Climax and did not like the huge treble boost. Here's how to change the Climax preamp to be like the L2K. All you need to do is change one resistor on the PCB. This is less than $1 in parts and less than 10 solder joints.

Here's a sketch of what I did to my L2K Tribute. I love single coil clarity. The MFDs in single coil mode have the depth that many traditional jazz pickups need EQ help to achieve. This mod changes the parallel / series switch to be a "outside" single coils / "inside" single coils switch. I love it. The outside coils together are like a 70's style J with a P. And the inside coils soloed have depth and kick.
