Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Bridge Humbucker Black Nickel Pickup
The Slash 2.0 Bridge Humbucker captures tight, aggressive output with excellent articulation and sustain across the full frequency range. Built for high-gain tracking and rock production, this pickup maintains clarity even under heavy distortion while preserving note definition and dynamics for mixing. The black nickel cover and construction quality reflect meticulous attention to detail throughout.
Tone & Output Character
A DC resistance of 9.38 kΩ generates substantial output ideal for thick, defined bridge tones that sit well in dense mixes. The Alnico II magnet contributes warmth and harmonic complexity while maintaining tight low-end response, making this pickup equally effective for heavy riff tracking and articulate lead recordings without muddiness or frequency masking.
Construction & Potting
Hand-built in Santa Barbara using vacuum wax potting ensures feedback-free operation and consistent performance across multiple takes and sessions. The pickup features a nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs, maple spacer, and single conductor braided lead wire for reliable shielding and noise rejection in any studio setup or live rig.
