Seymour Duncan J Loomis bridge Passive Mount, Black 7-String Pickup

This is an active humbucker design that uses passive mount housing, so it installs into standard passive-style routing without requiring active circuitry modifications or battery compartments. It delivers active-level output and aggression while maintaining compatibility with any existing passive setup.

Yes, this bridge pickup is specifically calibrated for 7-string instruments and engineered to keep the low B string sounding clean and tight rather than muddy, even under high-gain conditions. The Alnico 5 bar magnet with steel pole pieces maintains articulation across the entire frequency range.

This pickup is optimized for metal, djent, progressive, and hard rock where aggressive pick attack and pronounced midrange are desired. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk styles, which typically require warmer, more nuanced voicing.

The Jeff Loomis Blackouts uses a standard humbucker footprint and passive mount housing configuration, compatible with any guitar routed for passive humbuckers. No modification to your existing routing is required.

The Jeff Loomis Blackouts is comparable to the EMG 81/85, Fishman Fluence Modern, and DiMarzio D-Activator, but distinguishes itself through its emphasis on tight low-end control and articulation across dense mixes, making it particularly effective for modern heavy genres.
