That's EXACTLY the point. People seem to forget how does "feel" to play a pickup, and how responds to your playing. I think that's a fact that's usually underrated.

I liked the blackouts more, it seems that they have less low mids, but actually more bass and they have a nasty bite on the powerchords that I liked. It seems that they're more "open" sounding, less compressed.

I really appreciate this comparisons, because now I know that I'll love the Blackouts, since they doesn't sound so different, but actually sound better to my ears

Hey Zim, when will you have them back in stock?
