So I made a big mistake... I was giving my Tribute L-2000 a thorough cleaning and noticed gunk around the pole pieces. With the other L-2000 I had, the pickup covers slid off easily on their own. But when I went to clean this one, it didn't come off so easily. When I applied more force, it pulled some of coil windings with it!!! Apparently there was glue on the center divider of the cover, and it adhered to some wires. I didn't even test the pickup. Just assume it's dead. I was quite bitter for at least a week!
From what I understand, the pickups in the USA and Asian Tribute G&Ls are all the same American-made. This is used on the L-2000, L-1500, L-1000, and ASAT basses. New L-series 4 string pickups are $105 shipped:
Pickup - L-Series - Four String
SO.. if you're a pickup guy, this is your chance to see exactly how these are wound without destroying a good pickup. Or maybe you want to re-wind it hotter! Or maybe you just want the cover!
EDIT: This will come with a Brand New cover that came with my new replacement pickup.
Price includes PayPal and shipping in the lower 48 States. Will ship worldwide at extra cost.
