@TheMetalHeaD256 Um, no, they are both Alder with AAA Flame Maple tops. Both sound AMAZING!!! If you get a Mahogany body guitar, the EMG 81 is best because the Mahogany body already has a warm sound and the 85 will add to that. The 81 would add a brighter tone to your sound, despite the the Mahogany body. Alder would be perfect for an 85 at the bridge because Alder gives off a brighter tone than Mahogany. But, both of my guitars give me my correct sound for rhythm and lead.

Hm.. I really like the 81 on the bridge, with a mahogany guitar, because it give me a more balanced sound, more definition of what you are doing.. I didn´t made this test myself.. but I´m afraid that the 85 in the bridge could be too bassy an unbalanced sound, the one that would you make angry at the tonestack of the amp..
The 85 have a lot more output than 81, the harmonics really show up
-
Thanks dude- great vid! The 81 almost sounds phased and the 85 sounds like a beefy PAF.- I'm going 85.
-
the emg 85 does have more output but the 81 has a tighter sound... it all depends on what kinda sound you want... btw if you want a killswitch engage type sound you wanna go with the 85 in the bridge

@TurdFurguson420 duur... im a moron... didnt realize the pup comes right out of the housing.. i tried to swap the entire thing... lol... good learning lesson
-
tried this... until i realized the 81 sits much higher then the 85 and sits above the fretboard... so no 81 in the neck for me... lol..

when switching from passive to actives like the emg's does your style of picking change? ive heard you have to keep your hand closer to the strings and chage the way you pick. maybe you could shine some light on that for me. great videos love the mesa boogie!

@voxac30blues Your style of picking shouldn't change at all. The only thing that may adjust your style of picking is if yo change genre's of music or you change bridge styles. Pickup changes shouldn't adjust your attack method too much.
