We have two sets of these already available in our shop
We have a Miracle Man set - ideal alternative to the much used EMG81/85
We also have a Ceramic Warpig set in all black covers

Give me a ring if you fancy them they look great!

[gingataff]

They look nice and I'd be tempted for that look in my jazz guitar which currently has Bartolinis in it (also plain black except an embossed logo).

I think they've been 'unofficially' available for a while (i.e. not on the order page) and I'm sure I saw a pic of someone with some in a Dean or ESP V a while back.

Had a set of EMG styled cold sweats in a flying v.....niw the property of another forum member.

I hate seeing idiotic comments like this. You need to understand that the EMG 81 and 85 pickups are very very different from one another. Saying that the MM is the ideal alternate for both of them is ludicrous, and misinformation at the very least. You should be more careful about this in the future, as it just makes you look like an idiot.

Miracle man set


I thought I remembered someone quoting Tim on the forum before that open poles meant the magnetic field was restricted where the polepieces should have extra force. Any update?

Did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning mate?  Why don't you go back there and calm down before you insult anyone else.

This is not an insult, it's friendly advice. If no one ever calls this guy on his bad advice and misinformation he's so quick to espouse while trying to make a sale, how will he ever learn?

If that is your idea of friendly advice I think I'll steer well clear.

If he learns from the mistake that I had the balls to call him on, he will go on to be a more professional and knowledgeable salesman, and thus he will do better business, be more successful, and make more money. It just doesn't get any more friendly than that in my book.

I am sure he'll be grateful for your consideration.

Dude, start to behave or we don't want you in this forum. There's no room for rants like that in here.

WOAH!
slightly uncalled for

I read feline's suggestion as saying the MM set was a good replacement for an 81/85 emg set,
which is the most common pair of EMG's right?

he didn't suggest the MM was a passive replica of an 85 at all!

I know some people swap the 85 to the bridge, but if you got a guitar with this 81/85 pair and wanted a passive pickup set and you liked the 81 bridge, 85 neck, then its a good choice. I know because I replaced some EMG's with that exact setup. I didnt much care for the 81 or 85 in either position. (in the end i settled on nailbombs in that guitar)

now we've cleared that up, do you have an more gems of wisdom for us all? im sure you could teach us all a thing or two.

Sorry mate  - you are being a bit of a muppet
You may not have been around this forum long enough to have realised that I am possibly one of the members with the more extensive pickup knowledge - both theoretical and practical.

The Miracle man set was designed by Tim to replicate the tones that Zakk Wylde used on the No Rest for the Wicked / No More Tears albums where Zakk was using EMG 81 and 85.
The neck position Miracle Man has a different magnet to the bridge position model and sounds different as a result

Also remember that Tim was guitarist for Ozzmosis (Ozzy tribute band) at the time so he had plenty of chance to hone that sound.
As it happens I have actually been using EMGs (and fitting them for others ) since about 1987 and am fully conversant with their design .
I know that the 85 utilises an alnico magnet and different tonal shaping on it's preamp voicing circuit and as such does have a different tonal footprint to the mid focussed/ceramic magnet 81

However by using an alnico in the NECK position Miracle man pickup Tim comes very close to matching the vibe that the 85 has in the neck - it's not the exact same - i wouldn't want it to be, but it has a similar flavour .

I was simply using shorthand that most of the more familiar BKP users would undersand - especially as these all black covers will appeal to players who love the all black EMG look.

Wasn't wanting to start any online argy-bargy - was just adding my two penny worth to the voices of the other members who were already enjoying or were excited by the new(ish) option for covers on their BKPs
