Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups interchangeably?
No. The P90 Silencer JJN is designed exclusively for guitars with P90-routed cavities, while the ASB2-6B is a 6-string bass pickup requiring EMG 45 sized soapbar cavities. They serve different instruments and cannot be swapped.
Which one requires a battery?
Only the ASB2-6B requires power; it includes active onboard 3-band EQ and runs approximately 1,000 continuous hours per battery set. The P90 Silencer JJN is fully passive and requires no external power.
What genres does each pickup excel in?
The P90 Silencer JJN suits blues, rock, indie, and hard rock with vintage warmth and natural response. The ASB2-6B excels in slap bass, funk, pick playing, aggressive fingerstyle, and studio sessions where tight low end and articulate midrange cut through dense arrangements.
Are these drop-in replacements?
Both are drop-in replacements within their respective categories: the P90 Silencer JJN fits any standard P90-routed guitar cavity, and the ASB2-6B directly replaces EMG 45 sized soapbar bass pickups without routing modifications.
