Value For Money :
Excellent
- How long have you use it?
I installed a week ago on an Ibanez S270.
- What is so special that you like most and least?
Plus: The big sound. It is clear, the kit Zakk Wylde is not playing Brassens. High output while remaining accurate, with 81 for the bridge and 85 solo flights for the next round. Both pickups are actually quite different from the other level sound: a sound like a razor blade through the ceramic 81, and something more rough, but much hotter on the bass strings with the 85 (alnico) . In short, the 81 is great for rhythm with palm-mute all, and 85 for tapping shred and madness. Both pickups complement each other perfectly.
As I said I have mounted on an Ibanez S270 with an EMG SA in the micro environment (for a clear sound worthy of the name), the notice provided little that explains enough to read it, and the pattern montages are clear.
The least: I would say the lack of versatility. Because even if they deliver the sound I was looking for, we must keep in mind that these are specialized metal pickups, and for more opportunities I had to get an SA (single coil) in the middle position.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Just micro Powersound posed standard on my guitar. I would not compare what is comparable (EMG active against Powersound liabilities). Just remember to turn down the gain on your amp before the first shot pick
.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
So I touched € 135 used, it is almost two times cheaper than the original price. So good quality / price ratio for me. It remains to see if it's worth it to buy a new skyscraper entry-level as the S270.
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes. Since I have installed, I keep playing over and then move forward. Is not to say, having good sound although it helps to train for hours.
