I'm kinda curious about trying either of these pickups. I like my EMG's right now, but I feel like I'm missing some of that low-end chunk and high-end raspiness that passives have and actives don't.
In the past, my favorite passives have been the Black Winter and the Duncan Distortion. I've also liked the JB, but I don't think it's what I'm looking for right now. I also want to advantage of this opportunity to try some other pickups out rather than going for something that I've already tried.
I want a pickup with power. I'm aware these aren't meant to be ultra-high-output monsters like the BW, but neither is the EMG 81, so if they can at least keep up with the 81, I'll be happy. I also want a good upper-mid emphasis with scooped low mids for added clarity and cut. I want a fast, tight low-end that's solid and not thin. I also want some rasp up top. I don't need versatility, just a good tight, fast, cutting pickup with a hint of old-school grind and dirtiness.
Either pickup would be going into an LTD EC, and would be used through an EVH LBX for some high-gain chuggy Gothenburg-y stuff, if that helps any.
Which of these two pickups would fit my description bettar, and I'd be happier with?
Thanks!
