This set is a good alternative for the classic 81/85 - 81/60 combo ! A bit more open and less compressed, but still carries a looot of punch !
It does the Thrash Metal thing super well and can be also used in other genres with no problem. Neck position delivers beautiful cleans, while the bridge brings a lot of power and harmonics.
I was expecting a tad bit more volume, but nothing drastic that would be a deal breaker - I think that`s just the psychological reaction when you buy something with James name on it.
