Description
Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Blackouts 7-String Neck Pickup – Active Mount, Black
The Jeff Loomis Blackouts neck pickup delivers focused, articulate response designed specifically for modern seven-string recording and session work. This active soapbar design combines single-coil clarity with a controlled low-end and slight treble presence, making it responsive to pick dynamics and suited to both lead tracking and aggressive rhythm layering in the mix.
Tone & Recording Character
Built around Alnico 5 rod magnets positioned at each pole, this pickup generates clarity and definition without excess midrange bloom. The active circuitry provides consistent output and tighter low-end response, essential for the neck position where articulation and note separation matter most when capturing extended-range tunings in a professional or home-studio environment.
Installation & Compatibility
The active mount soapbar housing fits standard seven-string mounting cavities and seats securely without modification. Black finish complements most instrument aesthetics while the compact form factor works well in tight neck-position installations.
