WTB Bill (& Becky)Lawrence L-500XL

[Ayrton]

Anyone have a clean used one lying around before I pull the trigger on a new one?

Black with the trim ring please.

I've got a zebra L-500XL laying around here somewhere. PM me, if you want it.

Brew,
Is that the one that comes in the Dean from heck?? How much lead? I may be interested, but of course, I dont want to infringe on you, Ayrton..


Ive always got pups from bill and becky, but they have done something odd and I cant find them on thier site anymore.. seems like they go thru a 3rd party. Im so leary of getting a fake...

I have not heard back yet on the 500, but I know he has his hands full with the kids.

I have seen some NOS B&B 500s on the bay, but I figured I could snag a used one and save a few dollars.

Just found the Bill Lawrence pickup in a box last night. It is the bill and becky version but, it's the L-500L not the XL version.

I've never installed it in a guitar, a buddy gave it too me. I just threw it in a box and haven't used it.

FYI it's zebra, has the trim ring and about 10 inches of lead.

Has anyone used a L500XL in the bridge with a L500L in the neck? I might want to try it if it's a decent sounding combo. Brewtone are you selling that zebra one?

Re: WTB Bill (& Becky)Lawrence L-500XL

I'd consider selling it or trading it for a tremspaced Duncan. Ayrton's got first dibs on it though.

I should actually go home and throw it on a multimeter and make sure it's working. It's been packed away since the early 90's. Just found it the other day along with a unopened TS-9 in a box of junk I was clearing out.

The 500L sounds very similar to the 500XL if you use it w/ a 250k pot. I've never had an L muddy up in the neck position, but it makes for a hot neck pickup.
