Seymour Duncan Black winter vs. Bill Lawrence L500XL USA

[Vorss]

Hello,
I love BL L500XL, but I am thinking of buying SD Black winter. Has anyone tried them both? My guitar is tuned to drop B (Dean ml).

yes, they're totally different pickups. The black winter is warmer, more syrupy than the L500XL which in turn is quite bright, cutting and crunchy. They are as different as Jason Statham and Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson in the latest Fast&Furious Hobbs&Shaw film: one is like a sledgehammer, the other like a precision dagger.
