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 applications. 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 work and aggressive rhythm playing.
Tone & Electronics
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, ideal for the neck position where articulation matters most in extended-range tunings.
Design & Build
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pickup for seven-string or six-string guitars?
This is specifically designed for seven-string instruments. It fits standard seven-string mounting cavities with its active mount soapbar housing and requires no modification.
What tone should I expect compared to passive pickups?
The active circuitry delivers single-coil clarity with tighter, more controlled low-end and consistent output—no excess midrange bloom. Expect articulate response that's responsive to pick dynamics, making it suited to both lead work and aggressive rhythm playing.
What genres is this pickup best for?
It's optimized for metal, progressive, and extended-range music. The focused, treble-presence character is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk applications.
Does this come with a battery or power supply?
The product description does not specify battery or power requirements. Contact the retailer for details on powering the active circuitry.
Can I use this as a bridge pickup, or only in the neck position?
This pickup is tuned and voiced specifically for the neck position in seven-string applications, where articulation and clarity are priorities. A bridge-position version may exist as a separate model.
