Alright, I've been looking into some phat pickups, and this guy recomended these pickups. Dimebag Darrell used to use them I believe, and some other guy at this guitar store said that they sound better then EMG-81's, because you can get an amazing tone out of it. I want the squeals(pinched harmonics) to the max, any suggestions? These pickups are not active, but the guy said they sound better then active ones. I haven't seen a guitar I could test out with them in it, so I'm not sure what they sound like, except for Pantera's sound, help!

Hi Bro & Wazzup guys? Very Happy

It’s been awhile since I’ve been here. Anyway back to the topic, I have a L-500XL installed in my Jackson PS-4 bridge. Here’s my (short) views on the L-500XL……….

Good balance of treble and bass; gives that sucked out mid metal tone without being harsh in the high end; without that whiny chainsaw sound in the high end. I loooovvve the clean tone. I play mostly metal through a tube amp, good clear highs, solid bass crunch, and lots of output.

The pickup casing is made of plastic, it might have that “cheap” look, but I’m fine with that. Bill Lawrence also make neck models of both the XL500 and L500, apparently with less output in this position.

Cool
