Frequently asked questions
Do these pickups work in the same guitar?
No. The active Corey B is designed for standard 6-string guitar routing and requires a 9V battery compartment. The 7-string Passive Mount is built for 7-string neck cavities and needs no battery or active electronics cavity.
Which one has less noise in high-gain metal?
The active Corey B Blackout Neck has superior noise rejection due to its onboard preamp and shielding. The 7-string Passive Mount relies on passive design, which is cleaner than many passive pickups but lacks active noise elimination.
Do I need to change my guitar's electronics for either pickup?
The active model requires a battery compartment and space for the preamp circuit if your guitar lacks them. The 7-string Passive Mount integrates into any 7-string with standard neck routing and no additional electronics.
Which is better for articulate, tight tone?
Both deliver articulate, tight low-end response. The active model emphasizes treble and mids with compression; the passive 7-string emphasizes mids with natural dynamics. Choice depends on whether you prefer active compression or passive character.
