Description
Seymour Duncan Corey B Blackout Set 7-String Passive Mount Pickup
The Corey B Blackout Set captures aggressive, high-gain articulation across the extended range of 7-string instruments with precision tracking and definition. This passive mount configuration maintains tight low-end definition and mid-range punch across the wider string spacing, making it a direct drop-in solution for recording heavy, modern productions without compromising clarity in the mix.
Magnet Configuration & Recording Character
The neck position uses Alnico 5 magnets for clarity and responsiveness, while the bridge employs ceramic magnets for maximum output and aggression. This dual-magnet approach ensures the bridge pickup captures controlled, articulate low-end even under extreme gain during tracking, while the neck maintains definition for layered chord work and complex riff separation in the mix.
7-String Design & Studio Integration
Built as a true 7-string humbucker set, these pickups account for the wider string spacing and extended range of modern extended instruments, translating consistent signal across all seven strings during recording sessions. The passive mount configuration integrates cleanly into standard 7-string guitar cavities without requiring additional shielding or active circuitry modifications, eliminating complications in your recording chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the neck and bridge pickup in this set?
The neck uses Alnico 5 magnets for clarity and responsiveness, ideal for chords and complex riffs. The bridge uses ceramic magnets for maximum output and aggression, engineered to stay tight and controlled even under extreme gain.
Will this fit my 7-string guitar without modifications?
Yes—this is a true 7-string humbucker set designed for the wider string spacing of extended-range instruments and uses passive mount configuration, so it drops into standard 7-string cavities without requiring additional shielding or active circuitry changes.
Is this set suitable for jazz or blues?
No. These pickups are voiced specifically for metal, djent, progressive, and hard rock with drop tunings. They prioritize aggression, high output, and mid-range punch rather than the smooth, articulate character jazz and blues players typically seek.
Do I need to replace my guitar's wiring to use these passive pickups?
No. The passive mount configuration means you install them like standard humbuckers into your existing cavity and wiring. Unlike active pickups, they don't require battery boxes, active circuitry, or shielding upgrades.
How does this compare to active 7-string pickups?
The Corey B Blackout Set delivers active-character tones—high output, aggression, and sustain—while remaining fully passive, so you avoid the maintenance, battery changes, and noise floor management of active electronics. It's designed as a reliable, simple alternative.
