Hi! I got to play all of my guitars tonight after being unable to play some of my guitars for a few weeks due to moving.
I have a Jackson Soloist SLX with EMG's, EMG 81 in the bridge position and EMG 85 in the neck position.
The thing is, the EMG's sounds so muddy, the EMG 85 aint to bad but the EMG 81 is very,very muddy.I have a chamberd Les Paul copy with mahogany neck and body that also have EMG's and it sounds a lot brighter.
The Jackson is basswood but my Ibanez RG870QMZ is also basswod but is sounds way brighter and tighter even though it's got passive pickups.
The guitar did not come stock with EMG's, I had my local guitar store install them for me last summer.
I'm thinking of trying to do an 18volt mod on it and see if that helps, I just find it weird that it sounds so muddy. I can take a few pics tomorrow and show you the wiring, it still got some groundwires in there.
