| The only way I know to get a replacement neck for even a US model is to send it in and have one made specifically to fit. Until recently, alot of the work was done by hand- which means a replacement neck couldn't be guaranteed to fit a body correctly. If you really want an L2000 with a skinny maple-boarded neck, I recommend selling your Tribute and looking out for a used US L2000 with 1.5" nut width on the neck...
That being said, I was lucky enough to find a maple boarded neck on Ebay to replace my old rosewood one (just a matter of preference for me, the original neck is fine- I'm just a constant tweaker!)- and it fit well, though it did require alot of adjustment in action/intonation/neck relief, the old neck was almost an inch longer! This is very rare though- I've only seen 3 G&L bass necks that I can remember on Ebay in the last year or so, and maple seems to be the preferred board- so they are probably going to be harder to find...
Apparently Moses makes a graphite neck which will fit an L2000- but that ain't maple...It's possible a Stingray neck would fit? but they generally have the wider nut width as well.
