Yep. You can get the 1meg reverse taper pot used for bass cut from G&L, but finding it as a stacked pot would be hard.
As @ahadl2500 said, the stacked treble/volume pot is readily available.

It's not ideal for some,
But a Fender TBX control wired for bass cut is essentially the bass /treble controls of a G&L in a single pot, with a center detente. Cuts bass in one direction, cuts treble in the other.
I typically don't cut both at the same time, so I could work with it.
If you need to cut both, you'd need something else.
What if G&L made their version of an older style Stingray at 8.5 lbs for $1,600?
Minimal engineering and production set up time. And then a Tribute 2 years later.
Maybe a hot seller? Sandberg is now using a SR style pup as well as others.

I much prefer the MFD pickup to the SR style pickup. Fact is I find the SR style pickup to be a turn off. I tried to like them in a few different basses but I just don't. I like '70s Stingrays but I'd prefer a MFD pickup in there.
Gonna be doing a G&L/ Sabre bass inspired build
can someone measure from the 12th fret to the bridge pickup

I do not understand. Why has there not been intense discussion about these? Why is everyone not as excited as I am? What is wrong with you all?

My buddy @husky123 added a greasebucket tone knob to his Kiloton Tribute. Definitely adds more tonal variations to it.
Not everything in the world is better for having an extra string. The P-bass is a perfect example of this since the pickup is in a spot that that is simply not conducive to a pitch-firm B-string. The L-1000 is very much the same story. I have an L-1000 that is a terrific instrument, but I've no interest in a 5-string version of it—vs my L-2500, JB-5, and M-2500. That's what's wrong with me.
I think I might've kept my Spector if it had had those pickups in it.
I just want the MFD jazz pickups to come out.
Ordered a replacement IC chip (direct from G&L) and a roll of copper shielding tape for my recently acquired blackburst BABP L2K.. hoping to resolve the noise / RF interference soon enough!
Passive mode's been quiet & fine for the most part but I'm REALLY enjoying the active on w/ Treble Boost setting.. just need it to wrangle in the unwanted noise!

Just for the record, is this an MFD pickup put in a modified stingray cover? How does it sound? How does it differ from the stock pickup?
Yes. I guess it sounds like the bridge pickup from an L2K in series mode or maybe a Kiloton. It has a push pull that splits it to the neck side coil as well. The stock pickup was a passive EMG HZ. It sounds more unique and aggressive than the HZ.
