i have a guitar with an emg 81 and i heard that the new ernie ball cobalts are bright sounding strings, and of course the emg is a bright pickup. so would it be too bright to use the cobalts with the emg?

Can't believe you'd really notice a huge difference just from changing strings when playing through distortion. And since I see "emg 81" in the original post, I don't really need to ask whether you're playing through distortion.![]()
I'm actually not insinuating anything, but thanks for reading so much more into my post than was there. For your information, "Are you insinuating that people who play with distortion and/or EMGS's can't hear small variations in tone? Or simply that you can't?
Plenty of people use EMG's for clean sounds and plenty of people excel at this.
EMG's don't limit anyone to high gain playing. Only a mindset like the one you're portraying does.
