I looked into the Blackouts, and there are 2 different sets.
The AHB-1's
Cutting Edge - Blackouts AHB-1 - Seymour Duncan/Basslines
And the AHB's 2
Humbucker - Blackouts Metal AHB-2 - Seymour Duncan/Basslines
Which one did you get, and how was the wiring? Was it complicated? I'm not to good at soldering pickups in, I'm still new to all of the electronic side of guitars. I don't trust any local guitar shops to install my pickups, and I need to learn to do this myself. So just curious as to how complicated they are. Does the neck pickup have a lot of gain, to where you can't really tell much of a difference between the Bridge and the neck pickup?
