Just curious...I have an 81/85 combo in my Dime, and am looking to get a 81/60 in my Squier (not strat style body) just curious what the 60 would sound like in the neck opposed to an 85?
 
60 has way better cleans. That's about all I remember.

Yeah, the 60 is much better in the neck for cleans and such. I threw the 85 in the bridge and really like it.

+1 I have the 85/60 combo. The 60 does some sweet cleans in the neck and I love the 85 in the bridge...it is thick and I think has more growl than the 81 IMO.

Also, I like the 60 in the neck better than the 85...nicer cleans, but is a bit looser that the 85 when distorted.
