EMG chrome covered...brighter?
Have any of you guys experienced chrome covered EMG's being brighter sounding than regular EMG's? I just got a Schecter Hellraiser Extreme and dig the look of the chrome covered pickups, but will be swapping out the 81/89 combo for dual 85's. Maybe it's just my imagination, but they seem to be a little brighter sounding than the regular versions. Is this just my imagination or have any of you experienced this as well. I'd go for black chrome 85's, but if they are in fact brighter, I'll just go with regular 85's.
I have 2 sets of the Chromes, and several of the regular black. I don't really think they sound any different, but the chromes sure look nice. Personally, I think you are downgrading if you go from an 81/89 to an 85/85. Just my opinion.
