Hi, i have just ordered a Bill Lawrence L500XL bridge humbucker and wondered if anyone knows of a neck pickup that might go well with it. I play through a solid mahogony les paul copy through a marshall jcm900 mkIII

I am not all too familiar but I do remember them in the NUNO Washburn N4's
That was with a 59 in the neck. I am NOT a huge 59 fan, but you CANNOT argue with the 59 as a basic, anywhere, anytime pickup.

I would add to this list, Dimarzio VPAF bridge model used in the neck, or an APH1 Alnico Pro 2

I have a 900, I also use a XL500. I use the Bill Lawrence L-500C in the neck position. The L or the R will work gret also depending on what flovor you want!

If you want a Bill Lawrence in the bridge, go with one in the neck too!! Trust me, they are wonderful in that position also!!!

I say your options are open. Anything hot enough to match up even close to your bridge PUP is going to sound like a loud, sustaining nacho fart in the neck position, so go with whatever you think sounds good and don't worry about it's relation to your bridge PUP.

When I used the L500XL I paired it up with the L500R, it balance nicely!

What was it that Dime had in his Dean from Hell in the neck? Wasn't that a 59?

I agree the 59 would work but I personally would put a 500R or 500C in the neck. Probably the R since it's a tad hotter than the C.

The L-500C is great of you want no neck pickup mud what so ever!! Its a great shredding neck pickup!

1 on the 500R which is what's in my SG neck, with the 500XL in the bridge. The 500R stays clear even with the volume turned down.
