Hey Lou, any opinions are good to hear, however, whilst we're hijacking threads...

I've also got EMG-HZ's on me Spector Bass and they basically erm, pee on anything else I've ever used. Absolutely every tone imaginable, crystal clear and very loud if need be. |
What's the bottom end like on these? I'm trying to get the deepest Grrr possible out of a standard 4-string.
And welcome, BTW. |

Hello lads. Thanks for the welcome and that.
The EMG-HZ's are LOUD as loud can be and can do all the bass I've ever wanted. What kind of deep grr you after there Tim?
Welcome all to come over for beer and grill and check out the EMG's if you're in Helsinki for the Eurovision Song Contest next month.. |

| I'm after something with a lot of lows and a decent mid. At the minute I have my tone all the way down and only use the neck Pup and it still sounds a bit thin sometimes. |

Go and check a Spector bass, mate. I've got a Legend 4:

| Yes, they might be loud, but my point is that they just have their own sound and don't transmit the natural resonance of the guitar, so it is pointless putting them into guitars such as Gibsons because you may as well put them on a cheap guitar and get the same sound. |

Have you heard a Les Paul equipped with EMGs?
Hideous. |

Hello mate. Sorry for the silence.
Yeah. A Les Paul with EMG's.. It's a bit sad, I agree. But on a crappo Fender, they sound great. Gilmore's Strat sounds wonderful, as does my 20 yr old Tele. I should know, I've owned it since new. But Fenders are shite anyway. I'd never butcher a Gibson. Heavy metal w***ers may differ. |

It might be just me, but I still think that a response like

is a natural  -inducer. I hope you'll kick around here to add more, Lou. |

| Lou, I don't agree that Fenders are shite as such, but sometimes their pickups do leave a lot to be desired. |
