I'm after a Nuno like tone for my Charvel

Its quite ironic that you said you dont want a "cr@ppy" Bill lawrence USA pickup, then said you want a pickup that sounds like someone who uses a bill lawrence USA pickup.

either way, just e-mail tim with a description of your guitar and he will suggest something im sure.

[Transcend]

I think so, yeah, but hes rather scornfull of scatterwindy goodness. AFAIK its only BK and Wolfetone that do that (please add to this list if you know others!)

Swineshead also do scatterwound pickups

 :lol:

i had a bill lawrence USA and it was the clearest non-BK pickup i had
but it's overbright, mid scooped and lacks bass too

ask for a cold sweat with some extra treble

I've had a couple of sets of SH. Pretty good pickups. Not BK-good, but good.

[MDV]

Oh, and my mates BL is a BL USA.

I'm pretty sure Nuno used Bill Lawrence pickups made by Bill & Becky which are supposed to sound different, and much better than the Bill Lawrence USA ones

The site doesnt mention it

I suppose, if I cared enough, I could as Jon.

[gwEm]

I'm actually pretty certain of this. I could be wrong though it was a hell of a long time ago that i spoke to them on the phone about there different pickups.

it can't be truth, as didn't exist "bill & becky" l500's until this decade
dave mustaine also used the USA on the neck position his main jackson KV
becky "lawrence" lied for years all over the internet about dimebag being their friend and buying direct from them for years
but when the video of dime saying he used bill lawrence pickups from stewart macdonald (main and only BL USA seller on early 90's) leaked, she disappeared from teh forums (lol)

Actually, I think you'll find Nuno's pickups have always been made by Bill, but now since their Bills parting from his company, Washbrun still uses the USA's, whilst Nuno's guitars are still using ones now made by Bill and Becky.

I like the idea of asking Tim though, I've been curious about a Cold Sweat for too long now...

that is true but pointless of it being there as mustaine has always said he never uses the neck pickup no matter what as he hates the sound.

Weird guy

I'm actually pretty certain of this. I could be wrong though it was a hell of a long time ago that i spoke to them on the phone about there different pickups.

from what i remember, someone over at UG ages back emailed him to ask, and he said they were handwound, but not scatter-wound. of course, that's hearsay, so if you have better info, i'm perfectly willing to be corrected. i originally thought i had, but now i remember, it was someone else. my memory is terrible.  :lol:

I hope it's alright to talk about this on here... there's no problem (for me, anyway) if it's not. :)
