[QUOTE="Jack Napalm, post: 56111, member: 1844"] It doesn't have to be either or. The more I play the more I like passive pickups for live situations. For recording I love my EMG's. Depends on the rigs as well. For most modeling units, pods and what nots, I don't think it matters as much. In fact I think EMG's sound better with modeled gear but neither respond well to just rolling off the volume unlike a passive pickup and a nice amp. The amp doesn't even have to be tube either. I also like more gain when playing live than when recording but prefer pickups with less gain. Go figure that one out. There are a lot of ways to skin the cat and there is no right or wrong way.
