Both are black. The AN is standard spaced, the TB-15 is trem spaced. Both are sextacular pickups, both have very long leads. Looking for $50 for the Alt 8 and $40 for the Air Norton.
I can't either. Its a balls to the wall Chugga chugga sound like the Invader or Super 3. I have one in my Soloist and its different from the Dimebucker or X2n which have the tight low end chainsaw sound, but if your lookin for palm mutes and heavy riffage, the Alt8 can do no wrong.
