regarding the L500, ive been wanting to get one for my explorer for quite sometime and was wanting to know if anyone has tried any of the 4 types, being the L500 clean , reg, lead, or XL. thank you all.

i used to have the l500xl and i thought it was a good sounding pup, better dirty than clean, havent tried the others

I've got a call in to them myself. Everyone gets the XL for the Dime sound, which is great, but I'm wondering what the other ones can be compared to as well. I figure the Regular or Lead one would work for me. I kind of like the rail thing they've got going on. Won't need to worry about pole alignment with string bends and such.

I currently use the XL for the bridge and the C for the neck. The C is really bright sort of like a single coil in the neck but, with a buckers vibe to it. The C is one of my most favorite pickups I have ever played in the neck position. I wouldnt recomend it for the bridge though.

Even though the XL and the C are completly different from each other (16K versus 5k) They mix in the coolset way together.

Great information on the pick-ups. I've never had a BL in the neck position, but after reading that I would serisouly consider it. I have a L-500XL in the Bridge of an Alder Body Strat with a maple neck/fretboard, and I love the sound I get out of it.
