EMG's sound dull. They've got all the output, but they just don't bite. Stuff them and just get a Bareknuckle Warpig/Aftermath/Miracleman. All the output, and an unparalleled clarity. In my opinion, BK's high output range make its competitors either sound brittle or lifeless.
 
Danno - try an EMG Het set. So much more dynamic than the 85/81 combination and much meatier. They retain the growl and sustain without getting thin on top. Get you a set and if you don't like them, I will buy them from you at the price paid.

You can't beat that deal with a stick and they will be excellent in front of your Mesa Recto.
 
No don't do it :lol: :LOL:

Just kidding, I don't have anything against EMGs. I'm not really a fan of them but I couldn't really jive with any of the BKPs people are suggesting either.

I do however have one of the original Cantrell Afwayus if you want me to send it to you fuck with for a while until you get bored again :lol: :LOL: . I'm not playing a lot right now anyway so I wouldn't miss it while it was over there.

When you return it you can just stick my thongs I left over there in with it. Thanks.
 
I enjoy passives and actives.

There is no other pup in the world with such laser precise focus as an EMG 81. I like the fact they don't have that passive grit to them. Such high output allows one to turn the gain down on the amp, achieving a tighter tone as most amps get looser the higher the gain is set.

I'll be trying a BKP pup for the first time shortly (Painkiller), so I'm looking forward to seeing if the hype is true.

The EMTY blackouts are in my top 3 favorite pickups ever. Warm, articulate and sensitive. Just amazing.

This........but myself being an EMG user for the past 20+ years I still like them. That being said I have more BKP's on order for my Horizon so I've almost fazed actives all out lol... :lol: :LOL: :rock:

Just make sure that you try another BKP if the PK doesn't appeal to you. I m not a fan of that BKP model but my Nailbombs are great...
 
EMGs all the way.. i love them for some reason.. but i love the suhr aldrich too..
 
I've had an EMG 81, and a set of Blackouts that I'm about to scoop out as soon as some of my trades go through.

I'd like to try the Blackout EMTY and some of the Lace stuff. Other than that, I'm done with active.
