Frequently asked questions
What's the actual difference between the black and white cover versions?
Only the cover color differs. Both contain the same Alnico V bar magnet, active preamp, 1.2 KHz resonant peak, and dual pin output configuration. Tone and output are identical.
Are these pickups suitable for drop tunings and metal?
Yes. Both versions are engineered specifically for drop tunings, metal, and hard rock with a tight low end, articulate midrange punch, and aggressive high-output character that cuts through dense mixes.
Do I need to replace my potentiometers and wiring?
Both pickups include 25K pots, stereo jack, battery clip, and mounting hardware, so full installation support is provided. They require battery power and standard humbucker routing.
Can I use these in neck position or with a passive pickup?
These are bridge-position-only active pickups. The dual pin configuration allows two output modes with the same aggressive tonality, but they are not splittable or designed for neck use.
