| As always, you can't judge on low-grade webclips. Blackouts and EMGs are most definitely very different. If they sound exactly the same to you, perhaps it's the amp he's using or the way it was recorded. That said, the Blackout Neck model does sound a little bit like the 707, bu the Blackout Bridge model is not even close.
I wouldn't say the Blackouts are low middy and the EMGs high middy. It's more like the Blackouts are balanced throughout the entire frequency range, whereas the EMGs are peaky. I definitely prefer Blackouts - they are clearer, heavier, quieter, and more organic. |
