What were Dimes pickup of choice?

[harddriver]

I find the Bill Lawrence USA L500XL (potted in epoxy) to be more Dime than the BIll and Becky L500XL that is not potted but YMMV.

I have also read alot of good sounding clips of the Seymour Ducan Dimebucker which is like 16K versus the traditional 13K of the Bill Lawrence USA pickups.

I have one more Superstrat build to finish up and I have a BIll Lawrence L500XL and SD 59N sitting here waiting to be installed.....

I honestly think these are the pickups you're searching for as this was no doubt Dime's choice too.
And why wouldn't it be!

I had a Dean ML with a Bill Lawrence USA L500XL in the bridge position. It measured 11.2K Ω ymmv.

Quite a few years ago, I called Bill and Becky to try one of their pickups. Bill was dead by then. Becky tried to talk me out of the pickup I wanted, telling me I needed a different one of their pickups.

She wouldn't tell me the D.C. resistance of the pickup.. instead she told me the inductance. Wouldn't (or couldn't) tell me the magnet used in it either.

Sounds like a GC or Sweetwater "Rep".

I guess according to an interview Dime said he always bought his L500XL's from Stew Mac and I guess that in the late 80's early 90's Stew Mac only carried the Bill Lawrence USA model of L500XL.
