A question about pickups (Guitar)
    #11712762 - 12/24/09 03:34 PM (14 years, 3 months ago)

So currently I am wielding a Schecter C-1 Classic with Duncan JB bridge and Duncan 59' neck pickups (both passive pickups), the sound is rather bassy however I do not have any major complaints - it for the most part sounds good.

However I believe if I switch out the pickups for active EMG 81/85's (or perhaps some blackouts?) I may be able to get a more balanced, and aggressive tone (Especially when it comes to harmonics). Does anyone with experience with this sort of thing have any say as to this?

I play all genres, however all bands I have been in or plan on being on have been metal, so that is my foremost concern.

If you want an aggressive metal-ly kind of sound, then go for some Active EMGs, they really do scream, my friend basically has your same guitar with a Floyd Rose and active EMGs.  I don't think you'll be sorry, for metal I haven't seen many better pick-ups, they melt face.
