Tab did a stand up bit on chicken wings during his show here, "why do ya'll call 'em buffalo wings if you put Lousianna hot sauce on 'em?"

Never been to Oswego but I would like to take a trip along the scenic route that follows the Lake Ontario shoreline one of these days, thanks for the heads up cuz I likes to eat!

Hey buffalono...

If you get over to Oswego, you got to stop by Rudy's Hot Dogs that sits right on Lake Ontario just west of SUNY-Oswego's campus. I used to live up in Fulton (now live just outside of Philly, PA). I still vacation up in Fair Haven.

Yeah, I read he was gonna be in town there, and the Adrian Belew would be in town, also. Just reading the local music/art rag while eating a pizza with sauce (that was too sweet) in the old City of Tonawanda. The place I loved in North Tonawanda is now a Mexican Restaurant, and not a good one.

I came back to New Orleans, only to find that Redd Volkaert had played up there on July 31. I was in North Tonawanda (family shindig) on the 31st - I promise I'd have stole away for a few...

Finally got the pickups and installed them. I ended up going for the standard L-609 set after talking to Becky a couple of times. She recomended them and when I told her I was looking for a P-90 vibe. Man, what an improvement over the old pickups. I can get great bass tone and the overall tone is very balanced. The old pickups bass was very muddy and I used to wonder if it was the amp because the low E was always fart'n out. I used to have to really tweak all tone controls on the...

Sure that makes sense, so the L-90 would be closer to a standard humbucker and the 600 are closer to a single coil. Thanks for mentioning Reggie Young, I remember reading an interview with him and had forgotten about it. I guess I'll do some searching here to see if I can find out more about the L-90 and how it sounds with the coils split.
Good Luck in New Orleans, that is an exciting place. I remember hanging out in a small bar on Bourbon St. listining to a kid playing Son House and...

I'm down in the New Orleans area, waiting for the Mayor to be indicted.

Yeah, it is too exciting down here - I need to go someplace quieter.

The 609s are no Tab Benoit at all, IMO. They're more of your Reggie Young, I would say. I play primarily clean and I like a good microphone as opposed to a spicy filter. If that makes sense.

Thanks for the welcome and info. Hopefully I'm not oversimplfing this but my impression on the difference between the 609 / 610 combo and the L 90 is the L-90 has more of a humbucker sound and the L-609 / 610 is a P-90 tone. So if I was seeking a humbucker sound then the L-90 is more suited?

Boris nice to hear from a homeboy, where are ya at now if you don't mind me asking. I moved away too for about 10 years but ended up coming back. Good comment about Tab, but I love that...

So far, my favorite tele neck bucker is the old Gibson superhumbucker c. 5-6 kOhm (note: some of them are 7-8 kOhm) that Bill designed for Gibson. A while back he re-issued the superhumbucker as the L80, but I see on the Wilde website that the L80 appears not to be included in his current line of pickups. That's a shame. It's a very versatile pickup - sweet cleans and also smooth when pushed a bit. Also matches real well with my L298TL. I prefer the original superhumbucker...

Welcome, Buffalonian!

I'm originally from the Tonawandas (Kenmore Mercy Hospital), before the "Buffalo Wing" was ever born.

The obvious is, a set of reissues with the mods Mr. Lindy Fralin recommends.

If you use 600 series, get the wider pole piece stance on the bridge. I've got 609s in a 2 HB Tele with the same spec bridge as you have - the pole pieces are a little narrow. ( I will change the bridge as soon as I have the $$ ).

Hi buffalono and welcome!
I'd try an L-90 or L-600 2.8 or 4H model.

If you want to try the Q-filter, you can easily try it later on.

Hello All,

This my first post here. I'm from Buffalo, NY where there is a happening blues scene. I've also been fortunate to visit the meccas of Lousiana, Mississipi and Texas Did I mention I luv tha Blues. I've been trying to get some info on Bill's pickups and have read a bunch of threads about the different characteristic and wiring options, filter etc. I hope y'all don't mind if I canvas for some help on setting up an axe.
I have a orignal tele...
