Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker Black Nickel Pickup
The Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker captures articulate, well-defined midrange that cuts through a mix without losing its core warmth in the neck position. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with meticulous attention to detail, this pickup delivers clarity and sustain essential for layering lead textures, rhythm pads, and clean overdubs. The black nickel cover supports smooth, refined articulation across the frequency spectrum, ensuring your recordings maintain definition at every dynamic level.
Recording Character
At 8.8 kΩ DC resistance, this pickup sits in the moderate output range, responding transparently to pick dynamics and finger control during takes. The Alnico II magnet contributes the musical, slightly compressed character the Slash 2.0 series is known for—ideal for tracking clean tones, blues leads, and driven rhythm work that sits naturally in a mix without muddiness in the neck register. Its balanced response captures nuanced playing technique without over-compressing your tone.
Construction for Studio Performance
Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback that can compromise recordings and live tracking sessions, while preserving the natural resonance that translates to engaging playback. The nickel silver baseplate with long mounting legs ensures rock-solid stability during extended recording sessions, while the maple spacer and paper tape winding contribute to harmonic balance that works across multiple takes and overdubs. Single conductor braided lead wire keeps the signal path clean and straightforward for accurate capture.
