Hello As the description of the pickup says here on SD, the pin jumper on the back of the Blackouts AHB-2 can be wired into an external switch or a push/pull knob, to avoid having to unscrew the pup out each time I want to switch, and instead, have an accesible booster kind of option. My...

Hello there all I have 2 guitars which I modded to house three 9v-like batteries (rechargeable, actually) to deliver some 25v to both pickups -in one case-, and only to the bridge one, in the other. The improvement of the sound for high gain tones was brutal, which leads me to the question -...

Hello everyone About a year or so, I bought an AHB-2b (bridge) Blackouts pup for a mod I did on a B.C. Rich. Man, what a difference with the 81s I have in a Jackson!! So much so, that I am planning on replacing the bridge pup in the Jackson now (I'm actually pleased with another 81 in the neck...

Hello everyone About a year ago I bought a BC Rich Beast NT guitar. I immediately noticed the sound was kinda dark, but didn't pay much attention at the time, as I was decided to make the bridge pickup into a SD AHB2 Blackouts (for metal playing). I decided to leave the stock neck on (passive)...

hello everyone I'm a guitar player who basically knows squad about basses... Can anyone recommend a comfortable&cool shape/brand with active pups?

hey there all I just modded a gtr to feed 3 RECHARGEABLE batteries to a blackouts2 bridge pup -- so is not really 9V times 3, but more like 8.4V x3 - @25V. Should I 'roll off' to 18 (17)? thanx

hi all The question sounds basic, but the thing is I just received a blackouts AHB-2 bridge pup to replace a weak passive stock. So I will be adding at least 2 more pots to the existing master vol and tone. I´ve always been interested in EMGs additional controls, specially the AB After...

hello all I acquired a BC Rich NT Beast with original Floyd bridge a couple months ago. Really really beautiful guitar, but uncomfortable as hell, btw. The looks on this axe SCREAM metal! But the stock pickups really don't. Them being passive, I have to change the bridge obviously. The neck...

hello all So, I've done the most simple mod to an active pup several times: soldering a parallel circuit for 18V (2 batteries). I remember when I first did it I noticed a HUGE dif in sound! A bit hard 2get used2 at first, but now 9v seems totally flimsy. I've done it w 81s and now I'm hoping to...

Anynone knows exactly what the deal is with SD not selling this pups nowadays? Are they never going to produce it again? Or is it just an inventory/stock thing? All the stores had them as 'discontinued' or 'obsolete' for about two months, and now they're only offering them in WHITE (bwaajj no...
