Pickups?

Hey I am thinking about changing the pickups I my ibanez iceman...and i am set on getting emgs. I just wanted to know what set I should get...I am debating between these three.

81/85
81/81
81/60
Any suggestions or reccomendations? Thanx

DiMarzio Tone Zone bridge; DiMarzio Super II neck. :D

Mwahahahaaa... :D

Tell you the truth..

I prefer Tone Zone/S3

:)

In my own axes, I pair a Dual Sound (4-wire Super Distortion) with a SCHB, and a Tone Zone with a PAF Pro, but I don't play metal. It looks to me like we agree that the DiMarzio Tone Zone is one very kickin' mofo bridge pickup! :D

I don't even like the Super Distortion for metal, I like single coils for metal.

Hell, I use it for mostly jazz kinda stuff.

Single coils for metal???
Never heard that before...

Yes you have. You may not realize it, but you have.

That depends on what you call metal; Yngwie certainly uses single coils on his strats.

I got some EMGs on my Ibanez; I got the 89s, they're like 85s only they're splittable. I also got a kill switch fitted so that when the bridge pickup (my 89) is selected I can cut it on and off with this stammering effect. When the bridge and middle pick up are selected the effect is less extreme and more useable - a cut between a trebly hard (optionally humbucker and active or single coil and passive) setting and a softer single coil tone. I'm very happy with my set up and would have no reluctance about recommending 89s to anyone.

I think that 85 at bridge and 81 at neck (custom set)sound good. it that i use ...
