I have my L2500 Tribute wired up with individual outer coil/parallel/inner coil switches.
Outer coils together = 70's type Jazz sound. Somewhat scooped.
Inner coils together = like a wide Stingray sound. More middy and punchy than outer coils.
Both neck coils together sound similar to a 60's jazz because the bridge coil is farther from the bridge. More growly than the outer coils together. Tendency to hum a bit because the coils are wound the same direction.
Both bridge coils together are similar to both neck coils together but brighter/less bassy. Tendency to hum a bit because the coils are wound the same direction.
If you shield the pickup cavities correctly it eliminates a lot of the hum.
I really like the options. I'm actually going to be installing two more switches so I can have seperate series/parallel switches for each pickup. That way I can have each pickup in series/parallel/outer coil/inner coil individually. I already have the extra two holes drilled but didn't wire it correctly last time I tried, so I went with the single coil/parallel switches.
