Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together as a set?
Yes, both are seven-string active Blackouts designed to pair together. The Neck emphasizes clarity while the Bridge adds aggressive output and midrange, creating a balanced set where each position serves its intended role.
What's the main tonal difference between neck and bridge positions?
The Neck pickup delivers single-coil clarity with treble presence, making it responsive and articulate for leads. The Bridge is a full active humbucker with pronounced midrange and high output, designed for power and cutting presence in dense mixes.
Are these good for metal and djent?
Both excel in metal and djent, but the Bridge pickup is specifically optimized for these genres with its aggressive voicing, tight low-end, and strong pick attack. The Neck works well for lead solos and precise rhythm articulation within metal contexts.
Do I need separate batteries for both pickups if I use them as a set?
No, active mount pickups typically share a single battery circuit when both are installed in the same instrument, so one battery powers both the Neck and Bridge pickup simultaneously.
