Re: 6 string active mount questions
What do you mean by active cover? Like a soap bar cover like an EMG 707? Active versions of six string pickups are unnecessary. Any company that makes active pickups uses standard humbucker sizes for said pickups not soap bars like "active mount" seven string pickups, which came about because EMG needed to build a prototype seven string pickup and used a bass pickup cover to do so. The shape just became the standard. I don't think that there is a soap bar style six string pickup for anything other than P-90's which are often referred to either as dog ears (because some versions, usually for hollow body guitars, mount to the guitar using two screws on the side and are called such due to the dog ear shaped pieces of plastic on the side) or soap bars (which mount to usually solid body guitars with two screws straight through the pickup and are called such due to their shape).
