I have a STEINBERGER GM PRO with EMG pickups loaded.
The EMGs used to sound awesome through my Mesa Boogie but sound atrocious through my Bogner Ubershall. The Bogner is a far more dynamic amp that really responds to passive pickups beautifully (unfortunately the same can NOT be said for the AxeFX implementation of the Uberschall which is a one dimensional terrible sound that is nothing like the original). Ahem.
I guess my question is - what do people think of EMGs with the AXEFX? I find them okay but, again, prefer the passives. Based on this I am looking at putting new pickups in the Steinberger.
I am thinking of loading it with BARE KNUCKLEs based on some things Paul and Tymon from Cynic said when on tour. Anyone tried this? Any thoughts on the sound?
