hello guys!
for the last two years im playing my horizon nt2 loaded with emg pickups.
at first i installed an 81-85 set and later i swapped the neck pickup
with a 60 for better clean tone , and also did the 18v mod for better overall
sound quality and dynamics.
while the 81 (bridge, 18v) has one of the best distorted tones ive heard
the 60 produce an average-low clean tone (still the best active pickup for clean imo).
so i thought maybe to swap the active set for a good high output passive set like bkp warpigs or aftermaths
but lately i heard about the emg 60a pickup (the same 60 but with an alnico magnet instead of ceramic) that suppose to have a really good clean tone.
dose anyone here had the chance to try the 60a, and what do you think about it's clean tone? is it a big improvement over the regular 60, or you think
i should just say goodby to actives and go with a passive set?
and if so what pickup set will give me that tight emg81's distorsion but with good clean neck tones?
ahhh so many questions!![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
