So what kind of schecter are you using here? and what amp you running it through. I also have a schecter and have been considering the l500xl

[SavageDisembowelment]

@MWRMontages @Tourticket I'm using a Schecter Gryphon for this vid playing out of my Roland Microcube. Also just one disclaimer: I have the USA Lawrence not the B&B Lawrence. Got my hands on the "fake" one before I did more research and found out about the legitimate ones. Didn't mean to hide anything.

hey man! between l500xl and invader sh-8?

[SavageDisembowelment]

@mlopes666 Well then that's really a question of what tone you want: Bright (L500XL) or Dark (Invader)

I've got a bill lawrence in my ilbanez rg right now but was looking at buying a ESP Ltd with EMG 81s and 85's in it. It seems to be more high output but not as clear. I'm also not sure how in love I am with the clean tone. If I get an ESP should I swap out the EMGs for Bill Lawrence 500xl's?

[SavageDisembowelment]

@fetusjuice Well there's no real right or wrong answer to that; rather it boils down to a matter of preference. If you want my opinion, I've never really been one to have a lot of output in my guitar tones. I've found that it can muddy things up if you're not careful, but it's not to say that you can't get some killer tones out of active pu's. Play around with a few guitars first I'd say

Good video!, can i put on my guitar a Bill Lawrence l500xl and Seymour Duncan Invader sh8 at the same time?

[cikicrocus]

@SavageDisembowelment which one is the fake one? as the pickup was designed bu bill lawrence. And he is making them still by himself with becky. So how it can be fake. Also this guy is a true innovator just read his life it seems we owe him also for gibson and fender pisckups and also he was involved in the design of those guitars....fake??

nice sound by the way.

@SavageDisembowelment

the "fake" bill lawrence usa ones are the ones that dimebag used.....he has said many times he got his from Stewart Mcdonald, and they only carry the Bill Lawrence USA pick-ups. Dime never used a B&B pick-up. but that's neither here nor there

[TheRiker1982]

is the XL500 pickup good for metal styles or other music?

[ayawlex]

@SavageDisembowelment actually it ain't fake. it's just their bitter rivalry or whatever they call it. dimebag use to buy his pups at stew macdonald's, and stew only sells BLUSA. ;) fuck B&B

[varan9595]

how do you know whether you're buying a fake or real?

i don't know how to tell different
