After playing a friend's Jim Root strat I was loving the sound of actives and a planning to get myself a new baritone guitar 26.5 or 27 inch scale to play the usual drop tuned metalcore chug riffs.
And I'm also thinking of moving to active pickups for the first time after being a passive user all my guitar playing life. But I want at least 1 guitar in my arsenal to have actives for variation and contrast.
The EMG 81/60 was great in the strat but are the Blackouts worth a go? I know a couple of my favourite bands use the AHB-1 and the Mick Thomson set.
Tuning as low as drop a so need something to hold the chunk but not get too flubby. Needs to cut though and be clear. Usually play a 5150 style amp (via a Kemper profiler).
The guitars I'm interested in getting are the PRS SE 277, Ibanez RGIB21 or the Axion Black Label, a brand called EastCoast T1 who do a 27" baritone Tele style guitar and a Reverend Descend. Have only tried some of them as there's stock supply issues with alot of them in the UK.
