Whats the deal with Bill Lawrence??

[Ted]

I got some Bill/Becky L500XLs before xmas and had them in my Explorer for a while, they were (to put it frank) rubbish.  The bass end was farty and mushy - tried contacting the company to see if I had a dodgy set of pickups but they don't seem to want to answer emails once they have your money.

Ain't tried the Lawrence USA ones, yet.

check out this vid of Dime though, awesome... http://youtube.com/watch?v=gQ9fnq-CFdM&feature=related

i forget how much of a LEGEND that man was... what a guy.... :o

I always loved Dime's tone too - it's 100% bone-crushing metal.

does tim have plan to make rail pickups too? :D
would be cool to have a bk model for dime and nuno tones
something voiced between a cold sweat and a riff raff with more treble end

I have nothing against his fingers, it's what he did with them that sucked, so in a way you're right.

Oh, I went there.

New member here, and my first post. Being a Nuno fan myself this topic caught my attention.

I bought a boogiestreet custom N4 last year, but was not impressed with the bridge pickup, a Lawrence USA L500XL. I was also quite lucky in meeting Nuno after a Satelite Party gig, so i ask asked the question, "why do you like them Lawrence pickups???" Thats when he said about buying directly from Bill Lawrence, and getting either an XL version for the 'porno' tone or just the L version which he uses now.

As soon as i got home i was on the net looking at buying directly from Bill Lawrence. Within a few hours Becky had emailed me back with all the info so i placed an order, took about 4 days from USA to UK.

All in all quite a happy experience. The Bill&Becky pups are not as harsh as the USA versions, quite thin sounding, but very easy to cut through dark gear (my Matamps!)
