EMG 85 White

You either love it or hate it.
It's EMG 85 in white, I've put it in my Fender Standard Strat in the bridge and in fact was pretty happy with the sound. In fact, it reanimated guitar and made it for me a Jack of All Trades. It has a lot of punch, clarity, and seats good in the mix, besides it has an astonishing killer look (EMG in white, you see this not so often).
Would recommend it to anyone who loves active pickups and EMG in particular - it's a big no-brainer.
PS. Its a pity that there is only this model in white, it would be great if more EMGs were in white instead of boring black.

EMG 85 WH

Paul H. 728 16.05.2013

Got this in my 96 Epi LP. AWESOME sound, much more attack than the passive counterpart. Teamed with an EMG 81 WH. Truly full sound, colder tones than a passive pickup, but perfect for thrashing out metal licks and serious rock. Good quality, solid construction. Stunning good looks and an attitude to match.

Warmer und detailreicher Sound

Thomas109 07.01.2010

Kurz gesagt: Der EMG 85 bringt einen warmen Sound mit extrem viel Punch ohne das der Sound zum Bassmatsch verschwimmt.

Der Einbau dieses Tonabnehmers ist sehr einfach und schnell durch ein hervorragendes und ausgeklügeltes Stecksystem zu vollbringen. Auf der beiliegenden Anleitung sind alle wichtigen Schaltungen aufgeführt und problemlos umzusetzen.

Nachdem man dann den Tonabmnehmer so unter den Saiten justiert hat, das die Saiten eben gerade nicht auf den Tonabnehmer schlagen ist es soweit und man kann losspielen.

Auffällig ist der glasklare Sound, der sich durch einen sehr warmen Anschlag mit vielen Mitten und einem vernünftigen Bassfundament bemerkbar macht. Der Tonabnehmer arbeitet sehr genau und direkt und lässt nicht die kleinste Spielnuance verschwinden. Sehr vorteilhaft ist auch, dass man keine Nebengeräusche mehr vernimmt...absolute Ruhe, kein Rauschen oder Brummen, absolute Klasse.

Ein genialer Tonabnehmer für viele Musikstile...und gut aussehen tut er auch noch!
