Pick up to replace BL USA L-500L

Got a Washburn N4 with at Bill Lawrence USA 500L in the bridge. I want to like this pickup but it seem to lack bass. The treble and midrange are great and really cut through while the presence really compliments the high end. However the lack of bass warmth leaves my guitar sounding a little thin.

I was thinking the TB-6 might be a good replacement. It has a present top end and thick mids and maybe a little more "power" in the bass. What do you guys think?
thanks

Thanks, I have a couple of Customs and I'm looking for a different sound. I like the pronounced mids and treble of the BL, its almost high fi, but lacks a bit of power on the bottom. The Custom is packed with bass but a bit scooped.
I've heard people say the BL 500L is too trebly or harsh. I think it just lacks some low end power. Hell maybe you cant have both, but if I can I wanna find it.:naughty:
