Re: Throwing in the towel (so to say).....
Really?? The 60 is based off of a mini-bucker???
In any event, it's my favorite neck pickup....EVER. It does cleans beautifully....some of the thickness of a hum but more clarity like the chiminess of a single coil. And for leads it just has a lot of character IMO. I think it's probably the most versatile neck pickup ever.....it can sound like a single coil or all-out hum depending on how high you set it and how much gain you run it into.

Project finished. Does a Gold Top ever look Rock with two blacked out hums in it.
On a side note....has anyone used an EMG PA2 or Pi2? I have a hole left over from the coil split switch and I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with it.

Can you fit the SPC (mid-booster) in there? That thing is awesome.

That said, the gain booster definitely doesn't suck.
That sucks. I've used the pot version of the PA-2, and I like the SPC better.screamingdaisy said:

Re: Throwing in the towel (so to say).....
Maybe I'll go for the Pi2. I'm not really into OD pedals so I doubt I'd get much use out of a PA2, though I also question how much I'd use the Pi2. Either way, I'm mostly doing this so I have something to fill the hole. I'd plug it with a dummy switch, but if I'm going to have a switch on the guitar I want it to do something, even if I rarely ever use it.

I played an Ibanez that had a bass cut switch. It was pretty cool, especially for playing rhythm on the neck pickup.

Somehow, I'm still surprised that people can't accept that you like EMGs better.

LMAO...tell that to James Tyler and all the other premium luthiers that use them. I have heard the JB described as may different things, but sterile isn't one of them.
BTW-all the people that are stating to use the Custom, I feel is actually more piercing. I just heard the sound sample, had to turn it off. Must be that Ceramic magnet!

So? Have you taken yourself off yet, or are you going to hang around until you've proved that all active pickup lovers are going to hell?
