Jay need some help matey Just picked up myself an L-2000 Tribute and am after a go to punk setting I'm thinking passive and neck pickup but unsure about series/parallel and tone settingsThing is we are rehearsing in a studio on Saturday and this will be my first chance amped up so just want to plug n goWarm up likely to be UK Subs Public Servant for that kind of soundCheers
Hmmm, depends on what tone you're after, what strings are on and whether you use a pick. I'm using the neck pickup with the coils in series. I always play in passive mode. The setting of the tone control next to the volume control depends on how much high I want. The other tone control basically cuts bass. As I don't like a thin tone, I always have it turned fully clockwise.

Stock strings currently I believe , will be replacing those with rotosound nickel rounds and playing with a pick ( round steels on my current bass )
Sound wise i currently crank both treble and bass full on my fender jazz ( btw I have humbuckers fitted not single coil ) and cut the mids on my bass head
Liking the sound of your settings so will be going with that for Saturday's session
Sorry another possibly daft question Can you run passive without a battery installed feeding the active circuit ?
Yes, I can!
I always use some pedal to create my tone. In most cases I add some overdrive and distortion, just a bit. I also use some eq-ing. I always use compression. Both the Digitech BP90 and the Boss LMB-3 offer useful compression.

Great , Il be running passive so no battery required then
I have a small pedal board pretty similar to your set up
TC Spectracomp > Ampeg Scrambler > Ampeg Overdrive ( have tried different variations in order but this works best for me )
My settings are all pretty subtle, but it means I only need to take my pedal board when rehearsing in a studio.I can leave my head and cabs at home to get the sound I like
