Poll...emg 81/85 combination

[C_F_H_13]

Just curious those of you who have the emg 81/85 combination where do you place them? Which in the bridge and which in the neck?

I've got the 81 in the bridge of my Schecter.

But, I did switch a client's pickups around in his rather thin-sounding Ibanez. Dropped the 85 in the bridge & it really helped beef things up.

I have a complete line up of guitars now with the different combos. 85/85, 85/81, 81/85..... I like the 85 in the bridge better, but the 81 sounds nice for lead work. It's all about what you like best though.

81 bridge for mahogany axes and 85 in the bridge for anything else (alder)
I always use the 85 in the neck-position
