Replacing Ibanez INF2 bridge with Bill Lawrence L500XL pickup

[dgreen97]

Hi guys,

I just installed a Bill Lawrence L500Xl pickup in my Ibanez RGT42 guitar. I replaced the INF2 pickup because it's muddy as hell. I just wanted to confirm if I match the colors codes right though. If you could, would you please tell me if White and Green from the L500XL go to Black and White from the INF2? Does the Blue on the INF2 get soldered to the ground wire and then matched up with the black and ground on the L500XL? I couldn't find a comparison diagram, so that's what I did. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Are they bill and becky or BLUSA? If bill and becky: white is hot, red and green are for spliting, black and blue are ground... that enables the outer coils to be on for splits. If they are BLUSA I think it is black and bare ground as in picture.

i have the BLUSA ones. I'm concerned with the comparsion between the pickups. Do the white and black wires from the INF2 go to the green and white wires from the BLUSA? Things like that. I had them tied off as in the picture but I didn't know how to connect them together properly.

After doing the installation the way I described, I have a more bassy middy feel and not much treble on the low strings. Perhaps I've done this wrong. Anybody have any ideas?
