Bill Lawrence L500XL??? Blade pickup recommendations

See that's what I heard too, which is why I bought the Wilde 500L. It's perfect and does the Nuno tone easily.

Nono is a personal friend of Eddie Trunk..

My B&B L500XL arrived Saturday (10/16). Installed it in my N4 and brought it to practice tonight. All I can say is wow! Big fat rock tone!! It still retains the single-coil airiness of the BLUSA, but is fat and punchy. I think it is a huge improvement over the stock BLUSA L500XL that came stock in the guitar. The original pickup simply had no bottom end. The B&B has a punchy bottom end that sat perfectly in the mix. We recorded a few new ideas that we are working on. I'll try to upload on in the next day or so.

Glad to hear it! Can't wait to get mine.

Went thru this same deal years back. Dimarzio x2n never looked back

That has come up a couple times now. If the Wilde pickup doesn't work out, I will definitely check it out.

Really really powerful. Not too bright. Edgy is how I would describe it. Great note attack. Had a couple guitars with EMGS. Yanked em out. Put in the x2n. I just like how they sound.

Got the Wilde L500XL w/ chrome housing installed and its GREAT! Exactly what i was hoping it would do. Took the highs from ear piercing to tolerable and also is a little bit thicker. The actual quality of the pickup is head and shoulders above the BL USA, serious. Looking at getting a L500R to put in the neck i liked it so much. Thanks again for all of the help.
