Jackson Rhoads guitar + Bill Lawrence L500XL = Killer guitar
For sure!
I'd love trying out one of the old ones from the 90's that came stock with these pickups.
That pickup sounds like absolute gold man!! Damn.
hello Ofer ! i have 3 dimebag guitars , washburn dime2st with a dimebucker , Dean dime o flage with wilde bill and becky and dean dime tribute with bill lawrence usa .
I love them !
My top 3 pickups is : 1 wilde bill and becky , 2 bill lawrence USA and 3 dimebucker !
i love all of them , the wilde bill and becky is the better pickup , after the bill lawrence usa but less output but nice sounding , and last dimebucker too much output less precision but sound good .
thanks for the video .
take care.
This pickup sounds better than the Dimebucker imo
Dude your guitar sounds sic AF, the tone sounds incredible and your playing sounds clean! Sounds very good! I have a bill Lawrence L500XL ordered I can’t wait
Thanks brother hope you enjoy it!
Killer playing and tone! I need to try one of those EVH heads.
Thank you!
I love my EVH, that amp does everything and it does it great!
Thanks for demoing the Bill & Becky L-500XL pickup and your Jackson RR-1 guitar. I enjoyed your listening to your guitar playing & feel and the tone of your EVH 5150 III amp head. I should have not traded away my Bill & Becky L-500XL pickup.
I've have the same BL L-500XL I bought back in 1985 in my Guild. Best passive pickup ever. I think I paid $60 for it back then.
BAD ASS PLAYING AND TONE!🤘☠️🤘☠️🤘☠️🤘☠️🤘☠️🤘☠️
Thank you!
Mashaallah.. beautiful and great guitar for metal!. 😍🎼🎶👍😊❤️
Brutal........and i love the Maiden Shirt
Amazing playing❤
Thanks!
Cool, didnt know about flipping the pickup! Got an early 90's rr1 with stock bill lawrences, and they really sound thin and dont cut in a mix.
Interesting, I always thought the old Bill Lawrence should have been superior to the newer ones.. does it also have the mid boost circuit?
@@OferHolan Dont take my word for it. I never really used it in the metal styles it was meant for. But yeah as soon as there was a 2nd guitar in the mix, it was a lost cause..
@@OferHolan Never heard about the mid boost circuit! Might look that one up. Mine is completely stock
@@stefanoberli5920 A lot of the late 80s and early 90s Jackson's and Charvel came stock with with an active mid boost circuit
Awesome guitar and amazing playing I know that argument on that pickup very well, love that pickup I've had that same pickup in many guitars i swap it back when i sell.Thanks for the music
Thanks brother appreciate it!
Sound and your play are so cool 🎉
Thanks!
After starting out on Charvel's every other guitar neck dosen't feel right I love the 80s pointy headstock guitars and some Jackson's with 22 frets I find they have more Bite.
Wilde Pickups are my go to on my N4’s ;)
Always wanted to try out an N4!
Great job
That is a beautiful guitar. I want to buy or build another Charvel Toothpaste Logo Avenger RRV guitar.
Nice playing, brother! I just put a Seymour Custom 78 in my Charvel So Cal. Huge improvement over the Distortion. Glad you're over Covid! Looks like it thinned you out a bit.
Thanks man!
The custom 78 is a nice sounding pickup for sure.
And about the covid yeah its already way behind me, don't know if my weight loss is connected to it, gotta start working out more though!
@@OferHolan 59/Custom Hybrid has become my other favorite pickup. Would love to see you shred on that 🤘🏻
@@BubbaZanetti_375 I need a 59 on that guitar for sure!
I'm not digging that Jazz so much.
@@OferHolan I have a jazz in the neck of my Charvel but it was just laying around & I did t want to pull the 59 I have in my SG (neck). I may put a Seymour alnico II in the Charvel neck, maybe...
What do you like about the 78 over the Super Distortion? I have a Distortion in my 80s Kramer and it sounds pretty good, but I'm going to need something for this 86 Charvel Model 3 I bought.
Good review thanks ya melech!
Toda lecha!! 😁
wow man, that sound its great, and love that guitar!
Thanks brother!
Damn thats the truth
Ofer is an Artist......
@@thorstenriedel3152 Cheers!
@@thorstenriedel3152 Trying my best to be 😉
I might use this clip to learn some Pantera riffs.
Go for it!
Terrific video and playing. Tone sounds great but as mentioned mic placement could make it even better. It'd be cool to hear the amp mic, the room mic, and your DI sound for comparison. Excited to try the L500XL in my RR24 \m/
Thanks!
Yes it could have been done better.. next time 😁
Nice !!!!!!!!!! Yeah
Cheers man!
Great playing and great feel bro 👏🏽 love that tone. You should make a video highlighting other tones that pickup can work with if any. For example the master of puppets or anything from countdown to extinction tone.
Cheers man!
After flipping it this pickup is pretty versatile and can handle a lot.
I definitely should make more videos with that guitar though!
awesome guitar~~
It is!
IDK about matching up that XL 500 pickup with the EVH amp because the amp is bright enough already but if you use that pickup into like a crate 212 or ampeg vh140 combo this pickup is awesome for monster Doom !
B)
And what about a few Anthrax Riffs???? I love Scott Ian Rosenberg
Can you tell us a little bit about your equipment which you use for recording (mic) and playing (amp/speaker), please?
@@zenatorslurp5572 Hey, I made a whole video about it, look for rig rundown Ofer Holan, I'm sure you'll find it :)
Sounds great, what's the action setup you're using?
The action on my guitar?
Not too low not too high!
I'm pretty sure Nuno Bettencourt uses the bill Lawrence xl500 as well !
He does!
L500, not XL :)
😀👍🤙💪🎸💯🎯🇺🇲
Love those harmonics . absolutely killer.what were you playing through the evh amp?
Thanks!
Yeah that's the EVH with some pedals.
Nice guitar., I have one of the original 500's from the 80's Its in my Dimebank. I swap it sometimes..love that pickup. interesting, you wired it backwards?
Nice man!
Not wired backwards, I just flipped the pickup, meaning that the bass side is on the high strings and the treble on the lows.
This video actually doesn't sound so well because of the microphone positions, maybe I'll make another one demoing it properly.
Awesome playing bro! I have one question. Can you please tell me where did you get that pickup? Are you from Europe?
Cheers!
Got it directly from Wilde pickups.
I'm from Israel
great playing brother. i am impressed on how much the pick up does make a difference
assume you used the evh through vintage 30 speakers? i am actually the BB lawrence in a charvel of mine. can’t wait
Thank you!
Yes, I'm playing V30's here.
Pickups make a hell of a difference!
Enjoy the pickup!
thanks for responding - crazy how close your dimebag tone is between the neck woods / body style / no eq / no pq3 or pq4 in your sound chain. you can hear the buzz saw dime tone for sure. did you flip the pick up around too? what’s cool you can do nuno bettencourt and dime with this pick up. i’m pairing mine with a bare knuckle vh2. tell you how it sounds.
By Demons 😈. Driven.
Always!
how did u wire it up ive got the same pickup but cant get it wired up correctly. ive got some sound coming out but its very faint
Hi sorry for the late answer, I've wired by some online wiring scheme.
Just look it up online I'm sure you'll find it!
Did you try the L500 the normal way before you flipped it? Cool guitar!
Yes I did, it was too shrill and trebely for me.
Thanks!
why does my l 500 xl sound like a wah is cocked. no bass, and the harder you hit the strings the more wah it sounds??
Sounds like it's wired incorrectly probably.
@@OferHolan put 1 in the bridge and one in the neck and both sound the same, the neck being slightly better. by wired incorrectly do you mean the wrong wire was used as the hot?? i used what diagrams i could find on the 500 xl, perhaps i inadvertantly used the wilde wiring diagram instead of an original bill lawrence one??
@@estelombo Yes that's possible.
Try to look for a diagram that matches the manufacturer of your pickups (Wilde pickups or Bill Lawrence).
I really don't remember where I got my diagram from unfortunately..
Did the Wilde pup come with its own box like the USA model does?
I think so but honestly I don't really remember haha.. great pickup though!
@@OferHolan what’s the difference between it and the USA one that’s labeled bill Lawrence on the pup? Would you say the Wilde one is better?
@@mattreum4271 I really don't know cus I don't have any experience with the Bill Lawrence branded pickups.. legends say Wilde is the original and Bill Lawrence belongs to a guy that legally stole the brand name from the real Bill Larence who eventually founded wilde.
@@OferHolan ahhhhhhh ok gotchu. So there’s a bit of myth to it then I guess hey lol
@@OferHolan You are correct. Wilde are still being produced by Bill's wife and daughter to this day.
audio engineer here (this ain’t my real name), I’ve been wanting to get this pick up. You did right getting the bill and becky. It’s a very full range pickup. Actually not a big fan of your tone here much, it’s pretty fizzy and a bit harsh. If I had to guess the microphone placement could be a bit better to get a more full tone. Just my opinion, but great playing. not sure if maybe you have mic angled too much
Thank you!
Well I'm not an audio engineer and I had messed up my previous microphone placement and kinda tried different placements until I ended up with this one.
I also think I could do better, but just kept it as is out of laziness..
Thanks for the feedback though, I will try and improve it to the next video!
@@OferHolan cool that you responded yeah your vids are sweet. It was just my honest opinion and interesting ahh I can see that then. These are great pickups so I was a bit like dang I feel like these can sound better lol. They definitely have a nice open top end to them. but here it just sounds a bit too fizzy to my ears which leads me to believe it’s a mic placement issue. could also be the pickup combination with the amp possibly but probably not
Thanks man!
Always appreciate honest feedback.
Its definitely the mic placement, I've got a pretty great sound going in the room, just gotta spend more time positioning the mics.
Will do next time!
Very close to Dimes tone.
Thanks!
Mic placement wasn't so good, but the tone in the room was pretty cool from what I remember.. I need to make another video with that guitar 🙂
Where did u order it???
The pickup?
Wilde pickups, the guitar from Diablo guitars.
I know what I'm putting 500$ into this weekend
500$ for the pickups?
Man these are actually not so expansive, around 70-80$
Nice playing man. Too much treble tho, dime didn't actually use a lot of treble he used a lot of mids amd gain and scooped around 400hz and thats why it sounds like it doesn't have a lot of mids even tho it does...
Thank you!
Yeah I know, I've also misplaced the microphones on this video so it actually sounds worse than it did in the room.
I'll make a better video soon!
@@OferHolan yeah thats kinda how it goes it's either get a good room sound or a good mic sound or something in between
Tone sounds like a Line 6 with the distortion at 10 and mids at 0. Turn up the mids jesus
Haha I hate the sound on that video as well!
