Title: emg-85 soundalike?
Post by: El Schmucko on August 28, 2007, 10:53:56 PM

Looking for a passive alternative for an 85. Does BKP manufacture something suitable?
Mostly nowadays I play rhythm with the neck pickup in a sludge/stoner/doom kinda setting. Heavy rock is where it´s at!

Ceramic Warpig is nearer the 85
Miracle Man is nearer the 81

in terms of output it's the ceramic warpig
but in tone, he alnico 5 sounds a bit closer
maybe with alnico 8 it will push the gain better without loosing the smoothness

You don't want ceramic if you play doom / stoner.

Warpig is the way forward and perhaps wound a touch brighter for the neck?
