Is there a huge difference between these two pickups? This is to go in a mahogany Ibanez guitar and I want the tightest single note attack possible, Fear Factory style. I have an EMG 81 which is excellent for this in my 6 string but what do you guys think would be the better of these two for...
No one says that though, it's just praise for the sound of the guitar. I just can't believe these pickups come in a £750 guitar, i got mine for much cheaper so I'm fine with changing them but if i bought it full price i'd be pretty pissed lol.
Oh shit really that totally makes sense, but again I ask why the glowing reviews? :P
I'm guessing swapping the bridge out for a d'activator will do the trick?
I've had these pickups for a while now and I can't seem to get a good sound out of them, they have a huge bottom end but not in a good way, it's very boomy and lacks any clarity. If i try and eq it to be more bright it just sounds awful, no crunch or tightness at all. they also seem kind of low...
thanks, the black winters sound good and are pretty cheap, pretty surprised to find no youtube videos the the elysians though. do you have any experience with the lundgren m7?
mostly fear factory, fast picking single note stuff, so i would love to have a lot of clarity and bite. i guess the tone i want to get close to is this, i think it was done with a 6 string with an 81, will i even get close to that super scooped tone with passives? i will look up your suggestions...
do they not have a site? google didn't show one.
the guitar is mahogany too btw if that helps, my friend told me about miracle man pickups, they look tempting
I just got a RGAIX7FM for cheap and I love everything except the pickups, I'll be honest that I've never changed pickups before in a guitar but I think I will need to with this one, these pickups are very boomy and lack clarity compared to my other guitar with EMG 81 active pickups.
I would...
