redwhiteandthemaple Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'm planing to put the BillLawrence L500XL on bridge for a Kelly but wondered what was a good match on the neck? So I did the search first and got.. Someone suggested Duncan 59' and also Pearly Gates But someone also pointed that they aren't as good match as EMG81/85 because of the differences in output So I want something fairly versatile yet good amount of output too.. And of course, I like metal, in general. How about the L500L? Or I guess L500XL would match the output on the bridge too (not such a good idea eh?), but I've never even seen or heard this pickup other than through Pantera's old albums where Dime used it. (Many say its dimebucker but "better" not sure how "better" though..) So how versatile would this be? Any suggestions?? Thx in advance. -IR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenderSurrender Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 You say you like metal... Are you SET on having an L500XL? If not you should take a gander at the dimarzio breed/evo combos etc, I find them very versatile and sound great for lead stuff! Just an idea dude!! ~~ TS ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I've had several guitars with dual 500XLs over the years, and was always quite happy with 'em - not ideal for country or big band jazz, but worked for pretty much everything else.
