What has this sound???

[jalguitarman]

Do any of you know of a passive humbucker that has this sound? Aggressive high end but not harsh. Tight punchy low end. Like an Sh-6. OK here is the unique part. A balance between upper midrange detail and lower midrange "growl". Equal in both midrange bands. So you truly get the best of both worlds out of the pick-up. Great for when your onstage and don't have the time to switch to the neck pick up like you like to do when you solo on a recording becuse you have to do so much foot- switching. :dance: this to me would be an ideal sound. Not only would it be versitle but would make for a mega-big distorted sound. Any ideas, fellow players not really concerned about who manufactures it just wonder does it exist? GOD BLESS!!!!! utahere:

No one have any ideas. Is this unusual to think of. It seems as if most humbuckers usally emphasize one midrange band over the other, and i would like to find one that has those qualities to try it because it sounds like it would be an awesome pick up. some thong where the mid bands are prominent but you still have that clarity, and good hot output. any one.

EMG-81 comes to mind...

Agressive, High clarity, very hot output. Cuts through the mix onstage, and with a good amp, it'll roar.


For thies very reason, EMG made a life long customer out of me .


Oh, You said passive, well in that case, I suggest a dimebucker.

balanced humbucker? the APH comes to mind. it's not really high output, but it is very sweet.

Dimarzio Evolution that fits the bill in spades as far as what I'm gathering. Cuts through effects really well too.

Deos it really have equal response in both midrange bands(the dimebucker that is). EMG81? I have never honstly tried actives before.

I was wanting less of a scoop in the midrange bands. By the way is that a picture of robert smith as your avatar? Sure looks like it. :cool3:
