  • Recommend me a pick-up!

    I'm in the market for a passive type pick-up to slap in the bridge position for my sl4. I'm looking for something similar to an EMG 81 as far as a good separation of strings, brightness, and being gainy as hell, which is most important factor! Not into Duncans as I've yet to find one I like! Dimarzio X2N sounds like a good choice so far! Suggestions??

    I've never known anything passive to sound like an EMG. For a start, it's active, and the tone is compressed and normalised.

          EMG H4 is voiced like a 81 just passive. Also what Duncans have you tried? The Distortion kicks major ass.
          It's pronounced soops

              Seemed to muddy for me! Remember I'm looking for something bright!

                The X2N is what you want!

                    It blows the EMG away.

                      Nice!! I usually use the 81 with a je-1200, but am looking for an alternative to that with this guitar...

                        Duncan Custom or Dimarzio Super Distortion.

                          Nice sounding pickups, but still not as high output as the X2N.

                            dont confuse high output with tone of a pickups.
