really??... adoii.. x dpt merase active pickup... anyone willing to sell me active pickup??? hehehe...
can y'all recommend me a bridge pickup that good for palm muting and pinch harmonic besides emg?

try SD sh-8 invader

ooowh ok... how about SD sh-4 jb model? is it good?

that's a very versatile pickup, you can get many sounds from it. for higher output, go for the invader

ooowhh ok.... nightwish use sh-4 and its sounds great... maybe i gonna buy invader... but one more thing... is it suitable for epiphone g400? i heard sd pickup sound depend on type of wood ur guitar is...

It's true for all passive pickups.

will adler from lamb of god also uses the JB pickup, still can churn out tight riffs.

i still think your amp plays a big part in your sound. i know mine did

yea... crappy amp gonna get crappy sound... but ive got to change pickup... my stock pickup nak rosak.. i donno why... alang2 tukar yg best punye...

g400? im using one too..pickup nak rosak? mine alrdy rosak ..thinking of changing to emg or sd blackout

oowh... really? alang-alang buy it for me also la... haha... coz im in terengganu now... hard to find music store...

someone want to sell me his SD livewire metal pickup.. is it good?

just buy online la..minyak mahal, now better use postman

just want to know where can i get SD blackouts other than bentley? or anyone going to singapore? wanna kirim... hehe

bentley carries them now? any idea how much they cost ?

i dunno about blackouts but i do know they have livewire...

yea thinking bout getting blackouts too ,is it versatile ?or its bulit for high gain stuff

the sound is more natural than emg and im guess it is versatile...

then i will probably swap my 81's with it

what if i put emg afterburner on seymour duncan jb/'59? will it give more output and gain?

question...wana replace my LP's pickups so this is it

emg 81/85 set = zw set right ?? and then they is this famous 81/89..

whats the difference?? and how much will both cost me ?? @.@

err btw... me already have a ibanez pmg.. so if i install this.. will sound same ???*i hope not* cause i read these set of pick ups also towards metal hard rock...

thanks in advance..

the 89 is splittable

81/85 is USUALLY the most common configuration.
There is also 81/60 which is popular too........
But according to the website, the 89 is closer to the 85, but able to coil tap. The 81TW is the 81 but with coil tap.

EMG seems to be promoting the 81/60 set a lot now.. especially in guitar world magazine

so which to go for ?? 81 89 or 81 60 @.@ god save me the misery @.@

depends on what you're looking for.. do you need the coil tap ?

how bout 81/60 ... 81/85 and 81/89 the difference is just extra coil tab right ?

89 is push/pull switch type.
u can push for 85 and pull for 60.
this pickup really amazing

howd u push or pull? (forgive my noobness bout pickups ,i need a match for my 81 also)and how much is the 89?

ristikol, isn't the 89 a 85 with a push/pull for a single coil rather then an 85/60?

And a push/Pull switch means you have to install a new Push/Pull controller knob or switch on your guitar....... and if it's a switch, means you have to drill a new hole in your baby

wah drill hole.. =,= like tat i rather get tje 81/85... so its 81/85 or 81/60...

81/60 = versatility right ???

81/85/89 for morel like rock metal type ??

might go with 89.drill onlyla =)

=.= no thanks

sorry to all.forgot to mention.
89 actually combination for 85(humbucker),60(single coil).
so,u can switch 81/85 or 81/60.
blacktrix,u no need to drill hole in ur baby
just install at volume controller knob.very easy.push/pull at volume knob.
evalshtog, 81/89 per set totally expensive.new one almost rm900.ask woh fatt or bentley for info.but i think now they no have stock.
try buy at e-gay
but i'm bought 2nd from my member last week.so,it's very cheap
if u swtich 81/60,soloing very superb.the sound..fuhhhhh............like michael angelo batio and yngwie malmsteen
if u arpeggios,the sound very clear.u can hear note per note.
and also plucking,fuh..fat sound
60 is single coil,so thats why the sound very nice.

already got an 81.ask bents redi its 430 for the 89 =)

Ristikol, have to correct you there..... the EMG60 is a humbucking pickup:

Quote from EMG themselves:



And when I meant you have to drill a hole, I meant if you install a mini-toggle switch.

The EMG89 is a single coil AND a dual coil pickup. It sounds similar to the 85, but with the ability to switch to a single coil version like the SA single coil pickups.

From EMG's website:

so means 81/89 = best of both worlds??

how much for emg 81/85?

bout 700 like that.i think

phew, cost more than my guitar already.
but as we all know, the good ones, doesnt comes in cheap.

rrright?

oh sure!

Wtf? Better go BKP then.

81/85 Rock!!

what pickups is good for metal?

all hail 707s. and Lundgrens.

generally active pickups like EMG81/85 combo or SD blackouts will get the job down. but passive pickups can deliver too
