Would an EMG 85 work better for me? need your opinions
Please. Sorry if this has been covered before.
I am not liking the sound of my Eclipse II with the EMG 81 in the bridge. I have always used passive Duncans and Dimarzios, and I'm reading good things about the EMG 85 in the bridge. I don't play metal, but play with a good amount of gain most times, like Foo Fighters or something.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated since this is my first EMG equipped guitar. Thanks!!!!!!
If you have the 81/85 comb, just swap them @ the quick connect next string change.
I've never liked the 81 the way it sounds in the neck... I say just save for another 85 if you play both bridge & neck. If you play mostly the bridge, you can swap them temporarily. Or swap the 85 & get a 89 for the neck.
85 sounds badass in the bridge. More punch, but also sounds more natural. I have an 89 in the bridge, which is the same sound with the coil tap off & I love it.
