ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 It is very cool.The pickup gives you some serious gain in mosh mode.Depending on your gear that is .Chrystal clear.They have a tight low end.As far as people talkin about a lot of highs........turn down the treble.I didn't find too much anyway and I'm not a treble lover either.The blade does keep the volume up in bends.I don't play many leads,but if you do,this PU will stand out. The clean mode is superb.I don't usually use the Bridge for much clean stuff,but this is so clear. All in all,a very cool pickup. Well Worth the money and the wait.9 weeks,but who cares.

monkey69962000 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 how good are they. Compared to a semore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Depends I guess.Seymours are cool too.They are(in my mind)a little more midrange based.A lot of people use Seymours. These Lawrences are handmade one at a time.Which I think is very cool for 50$. I find this pickup to be unique.Sometimes you get a PU and expect a sound change and it's minimal. Try em out.If you don't like em,I'm sure you'd be able to sell it. All in preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jivin Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I dont think so From my experience they are best for crushing metal tone but i guess you could give it a shot if your really keen... heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPL Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 ifound this one place that sell the Lawrence XL 500 for $56. I just googled it then i found it. Is that a good price. The only site that has real Bill Lawrence is http://www.billlawrence.com/. You can sometimes find some on ebay but the price never seems to be as good as Bill's. I really recomend buying from Bill. There are fake BL's from that fake Bill Lawrence company that used to sell through stewmac so it can be hard to tell what you are getting. Call up Bill and Becky and they will find out what you want and recomend the perfect pup. They're great people who seem to care about their customers.

No. The only place you can buy real Bill Lawrence pickups is at http://www.billlawrence.com/ Edit: This link will explain the confusion between the fakes and the real thing. This link explains a bit more of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
