hi, juz wanna compare Dimarzio's x2n, EMG81, seymour duncan livewire heavymetal(cant get it in s'pore)........i haf x2n & EMG81. i tot x2n iz not bad has quite balance tone(bass5,mid6.5,treble6.5 from Dimarzio.com). EMG81 more powerful den x2n but 2 much treble, doesnt sound gd when clean but alrite with dist.
all these pickups i tried r on diff gtrs so more or less it will affect the judgement. anyway, i plannin to get EMG81 on the bridge & 85 on the neck(zakk wlyde setup). izzit better if i switch 81 to the neck & 85 to the bridge (shadows fall & killswitch engage setup). cos i dun really favor the treble comin from 81, 85 has more bass but lesser output.
