dimarzio's Tone zone vs EMG 81


I am trying to decide between these two for a 1985 ibanez roadstar
(basswood/birch body, stock non locking trem,maple fingerboard and neck)
this guitar has the H/S/S layout

I play everything from VH to slayer to led zep to metallica

Definitely don't agree.

EMG 81 is brighter due to a ceramic magnet. It has slightly less bass, and more treble.

Tone Zone has higher bass and less treble.

Both drive an amp quite hard.

Guys...
it's a 5 year old thread and the OP has been banned for awhile.
