I felt the need to check I knew how to do a Parallel / Coil split / OMG switch too and now I can see for myself just how easy turning the OMG into a regular series is, ditto the K mod that adds a single coil option.
Working out how you wire a three pickup selector and a series/parallel switch, on the other hand, took me so 🤐 long, that by the end I wasn't satisfied, just relieved that the mortification at not being able to fathom it out was finally over 🥵
Having listened to far too many L2000 demos, I've decided that on my nonexistent L2000 I only want each pickup available either in series or inner single coil. Just 4 sounds. But I bet the two inners in series would be worthwhile. So 5 sounds. Since I like my daydreams to be realistic, I've just worked out how to wire a 5-way selector to give Bridge in series / Bridge inner / inners in series / Neck inner / Neck in series. Which was very satisfying. Wouldn't know what to do with the other two switches though....
Online, I bought a multieffects unit from them. It was dead on arrival. Their online customer service moves very slowly, so I returned it in person and zero attempt was made to exchange rather than refund.
Searching for that model suggests that the body has been refinished too. The funny angle the pickup is at makes me wonder what is under that terrible pg. The engraved bridge is correct though – which other models had that?

Do you mean to say that if I acquire a Stingray, then my rendition of bassline on this....
....will not equal Bernard Edwards?
Oh.
Balls. Well, that saves me some money, I suppose
Would it be possible to take a humbucker, say an MFD from a G&L L-2000, take it apart, separate the two coils and then fit them in a pair of large single coil shells?
If that's a 24 fret neck, then presumably both those pickups are a bit closer to the bridge than traditional?
The Rex Brown has a regular 2+2 headstock though
