I only know EMG81 and I've never liked it. I haven't explored their catalogue for passive stuff because that 81 scarred me...
My friend Lian Gerbino had one in his guitar and I hated how it sounded. I feel that it makes every guitar sound the same, don't you think so? By the way, great suggestions guys!! Thanks a lot! -------------------- My lessons

The 81 is the standard pup they are known for and I don't like them at all, as you say they have very little dynamics, too much ccompression, and make everything you play sound the same. Some folks love them. To each his own. I had the Kerry King EMG set which came with a 20 DB boost switch. This was in addition to the preamp inside the pickjups. I did like how you could get just insane amounts of gain for lead work at the flip of a switch on your guitar. But I never did like the overall tone. A bit too thin. As folks turned away from EMG and towards passive pups, they responded by making a PU that sounded more passive and had better dynamics, that's the 57. If you ever get a guitar with EMG pups in it, rather than converting it to passives, it's easier/cheaper just to drop a 57 in the bridge and call it a day Of course the new "thing" in active pups is the FISHMAN FLUENCE. Just about everybody seems to be using these. I've not tried them but they must be pretty decent as everybody and their brother seems to have a set. Have you tried them? Todd I've never heard of them. I'm now using google... and this is what I've found: What would be the advantage of using this againts passive? I think that I still preffer passive's dynamics.

The FISHMAN FLUENCE has become the "Pickup of the Moment" as it were. I see wads of touring folks opting for the FLUENCE. Especially folks that play Strandberg Guitars it seems. The fluence is supposed to combine the best of both worlds in terms of dynamics and immediacy of response offered by active pickups. I"ve never tried them personally so I honestly can't say. Though some folks do swear by them.
Anyone here actually tried the Fluence? Tosin Abasi swears by them and keith Merrow now has his own passive signature Fishman pickups, and the list goes on and on from Steven Carpenter to Devin Townsend. All of whom has switched to some variant of Fishman Fluence pickups. https://www.fishman.com/products/series/fluence/ I've never heard of them. I'm now using google... and this is what I've found:

I'll continue exploring about this pickups. I agree and disagree , The 81 is a killer metal pick up , made for 1 reason , to push a tube amp . The rub is people get them and start running them thru software , thus sterilizing the pick up. You have to turn the gain down on your interface . IMO there is no reason to run an active pick up thru anything other than a tube amp . A passive pick up with your gain about to clip is better than an active pick up with gain turned down so it won;t clip hahah agree and disagree. Thanks for the explanation, I honestly didn't know about the real purpose of this type of pick ups and it makes sense. -------------------- My lessons
