I'm pretty sure its the Invader.
btw, this is my 1st post in the past 2.5 years or more. Nice to see alot of the members i knew are still here.

I have a couple of them for magnetizing pickup magnets and trust me, you don't want neodymium boride magnets in a guitar. Never mind an E sounding like F#, I bet it would just suck that string right up against the pickup and you wouldn't be able to pull it off without breaking it!
It's like that old Roadrunner cartoon where Coyote has this huge horsehoe magnet pulling down satellites and Saturn V rockets from space right into his cave.

Agreed... But you know me, even if I know or am pretty sure it won´t work, I´ll try it anyway just to prove that it won´t as long as people say it might :laugh2:
THough I could imagine it it not panning out as a total disaster if the "air "mod is done and the pup is lowered enough... and for 5 bucks or so it´s worth ****ing around with for kicks
And if somethign breaks: YIPPIEE, all the better :chairfall::laugh2:
BTW: Roadrunner rules, IMO best cartoon ever ... did you know Wile E. actually caught him 2 or 3 times over the years? :headbang:

how about Seymour Duncan PATB-2?

I've done a square N52 in a JB. The pull is greater as is the volume and sensitivity but, the tone of the pickup is virtually unchanged.

Re: Just Highest Output Passive Humbucker On The Market
Yes, there's a correlation with the wire, magnet and resistance. Each one effects the other. I have wound some for practice.
The tones are different of course, but, in terms of volume: The A is a little softer than a SD '59, the B is a good bit louder than the A. The C is of similar volume to but, more trebly than the B - making it sound louder than it is. The D is the same volume as the C. The E is quieter than the C and the F is deafening compared to all. The G is broader and slightly quieter than the F but, because of the high resistance, has the effect of the tone pot being on all the time (not necessarily a pickup I'd run with but, if there are those who enjoy playing stoner music - that's the pickup for you.)
There are others in testing but, as a series for metal pickups, it's developing nicely.
Would you like to know more..?

EMG 81 in my guitars sounds weaker that:
- EMG 85
- DMZ Blaze bridge
- DMZ Super Distortion
While it sounds a little hotter than or about as hot as DMZ fast track II, so EMG 81 volume wise is nothing too hot, IMHO.

Re: Just Highest Output Passive Humbucker On The Market
Yeah, the 81 isn't very hot. It's more or less about the same or just barely above the level of the JB, but definitely lower than the Duncan Distortion, IME.
The Black Winter obliterates it as far as output goes. The 'Winter is the hottest passive I've tried, but I haven't tried an X2N or an Invader.
I'm sure the Slug is way hotter.

Yeah, I just came across it - that said, things keep getting updated so, why not keep it alive.

Re: Just Highest Output Passive Humbucker On The Market
I think the KA Motherbucker is louder than the SLUG.
I'd reckon the loudest possible pickup would be if you did a mashup between the design of a Motherbucker, silver wire, a neodymium magnet, and Bill Lawrence style rails. This would maximize the inductance as well as minimizing the resistance, leading to higher voltages. I could not speak for any potential musical applications though.
