Description
Some pickups need coaxing to get aggressive. The Blackouts skip that step entirely — they’re voiced from the ground up for players who want thunderous lows and cutting highs on tap, no EQ wrestling match required. Plug in and the raw energy is already there.
- Active soapbar design built as a direct replacement for the EMG 35, so swaps are straightforward
- Huge dynamic range that keeps low end tight and highs articulate, not brittle
- Dual-blade construction locks in even string-to-string output, whether you’re slapping, plucking, or picking
- Responds equally well to fingerstyle, thumb technique, and pick attack — heavy hands and light touch both come through clean
- 4-string matched set
This set is a favorite among players who want their bass to sit forward and commanding in a mix, whether that’s for modern metal, dense rock, or anything that needs low end with teeth. For those who want to dial the tone further, the Blackouts pair naturally with Seymour Duncan’s Blackout 2-band tone circuit (STC-2C-BO or STC-2S-BO), opening the door from vintage-leaning warmth to full-on aggressive modern voicing.
Mounting and wiring hardware needed for installation is included, so once these land on your bench, you’re set to get them into your bass and gigging.
