Frequently asked questions
Can I use either of these pickups in my instrument?
No—the Holcomb Scourge is a seven-string guitar bridge pickup, while the Quarter Pound P-J is a four-string bass pickup set. They are designed for different instruments and are not interchangeable.
Which one is better for metal?
Both excel in metal but for different instruments. The Holcomb Scourge is purpose-built for seven-string metal with aggressive articulation and defined treble. The Quarter Pound P-J works for bass in metal with tight low end and snap, but you need a seven-string guitar pickup for six or seven-string metal guitar.
Do these pickups require a battery or preamp?
Neither does. Both are passive pickups—the Holcomb Scourge uses Alnico 8 magnets and the Quarter Pound P-J uses Alnico V magnets, so both operate without batteries or external electronics.
What is the output difference between these pickups?
The Holcomb Scourge has a high output of 77.0, while the Quarter Pound P-J bridge has 79.6 mV output. These are measured differently (77.0 vs. mV) because they are for different instrument types and cannot be compared directly.
