Nuno Bettencourt's tone specifically L500XL pickups
I really enjoyed Nuno's tone. Wow, I believe I heard some of Dimes distorted tone character in there as well so the pickup has to be a factor! I liked his guitar tone, riffs, phrasing and song structure. Anyway it actually made me want to try a BIll Lawerence L-500 pickup again
The BL USA L500XL will get you that tone in spades.
Check out some videos of Extreme live in 1994. He was playing through an SLO, and his tone was Godly.
My 1991 Davies N4 came with a Bill Lawrence USA L500XL in it. The bobbins are filled with black epoxy and it measures 11.7k ohms. Nuno's rig must be very warm and dark sounding because that pickup is shrill and icepicky if you plug into an amp thats dialed in to a more traditional humbucker. I used to fit the L500XL on all of my guitars a long time ago (1996-1998), wonderfull pickups and yes L500XL for sure!
