rainbowreality Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Just wondered if anyone has a wiring diagram for the L2000 and also the values of the pots used? My Tribute has developed a really bad scratchy pot and I want to upgrade them! Any advice appreciated Quote

jrixn1 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Perhaps you already tried, but would switch cleaner help with the scratchy pot? The one I have is Servisol Super 10. Here is the L2000 wiring: https://www.bassesbyleo.com/images/g&l_tech/l-2000/l2k_wiring_diagram.pdf The pots are these ones: https://g-l-online-store.myshopify.com/products/split-shaft-potentiometer-tribute-series-bass i.e. two 250k audio taper and one 1M reverse audio taper. But I found the 1M reverse impossible to source in Europe! I looked everywhere... 1 Quote

I found them originally through this http://www.dist-x.com/ They weren't cheap and each pot was over a tenner, I'll try find their contact info. Quote

The simplified wiring is especially tempting, I've never seen such a bird's nest as in the L2000 Quote
rainbowreality Posted January 6, 2018 Author Posted January 6, 2018 Found it! These guys sell pots for Tribute, it was a couple of years ago when I contacted and they were selling them for £10.20 a go - https://www.togs.eu/ Quote
JapanAxe Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 I had a Tribute L2000 and the pots died quite quickly. I replace them with Alphas, but they went scratchy too. I wished I'd spent a bit more and used CTS. 1 Quote
BassBunny Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 CTS Pots will be way less than £10 a pop. Quote

BassBunny Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 To be honest I am not sure. Alpha do them so I would be surprised if CTS didn't. Just a case of hunting them down on t'Interweb. RS Components might be a good start. BTW it's a 1Meg reverse audio taper npt 10M 1 Quote
