ive got an 81 and 85 in my ESP Vs and they really do create some aggressive tones.

emg 81's sound sooooo thin to me. If you play an EMG 81 back to back with just about any decent high output pickup you should realize it too. They have great sustain and they're very clear, but they just sound soooo thin. I just took an emg 81 out of my parker and replaced it with a gibson p-90, it sounds awesome. Another thing with emgs is the clean is well, pretty brutal, i think theyre very overrated.

ah well, cant win them all.

sure it was set up right? or you were using it properly, ie. max the amp?

my emgs sound really fat if i want them to, and can sound thin whenever also.

i know what your talking about....I've been learning a lot of shred songs recently (Becker, Malmsteen, etc) and i find that the EMG 81 doesnt have a real mean fat sound.....but it still kicks ass for Stratovarius/Iced Earth/Bodom/ many other bands. I might get some DiMarzio pickups next, i love their tone.
