Neck Pickup Placement/Bill Lawrence

[munkee]

I have a Bill Lawrence L-500R pickup. I don't know how it should be positioned in the neck. With the Logo towards then end of the neck or towards the bridge?

I can't imagine it matters.

It doesn't really matter, but usually you'd have the logos toward the bridge. Aren't Duncans like that, too?

Try it both ways. I usually like to reverse my neck pickups because you get a brighter and tighter sound.

The point is, these are blade pickups, with identical bobbins. In a normal screw/slug humbucker it makes a major difference.

if it's symmetrically wound, then you are correct sir. there is a bit of talk about Dimebag flipping his bridge BL to get a different sound. There might be something to that story and it might also apply to the neck pickups. If anything, it's an easy experiment.
