Where are the Blackouts...

soldierkahn · 12-21-2007, 04:26 PM

I was gonna check out the 7 string bridge EMG sized one, but i cant find em. Anyone got any links?

Rick · 12-21-2007, 08:18 PM

Seriously, when the hell are they being released?

mnemonic · 12-21-2007, 09:10 PM

yeah, i want a bridge model for my seven soooooooo baaaaaaaaaaad!

this duncan custom i have is nowhere near as awesome as the 81 i recently got for my 6-string haha

soldierkahn · 12-21-2007, 11:51 PM

i thought the Blackout 7s WERE out in the EMG size casing, just not in the smaller version. But where can i buy them at...

zimbloth · 12-22-2007, 12:00 AM

No they're not out yet. I have 2 sets on order with a dealer who gets all that stuff first, he would have emailed me by now to pay if they had come in. I can attest that the 6 string ones are kickass though.

mnemonic · 12-22-2007, 12:46 AM

if they're half as good as i hear they are, i should really love them, haha.

cos i'm really digging this emg 81 in my 6 string, but its a bit bright and djenty, (still sounds good). and if hte blackout bridge model has more bottom end and is fuller sounding, that might be just what i'm looking for

Way more bottom end and full sounding. So much so I had to lower the bass on my amp considerably. I haven't tried the Blackout neck in the bridge yet either, I suspect that would be amazing too (sure is in the neck position, best neck pickup I've ever heard from a high output pickup).

It's not perfect, nothing is, but it's about as close as they come. I still don't know if it's my favorite sound ever, but it's a remarkable pickup. It does everything you'd want from an EMG but without all the things people hate about EMGs. Now some people won't vibe with it anyways, it has its own sound, but I believe there's a good reason why so many good players are switching to these (then again, people I respected switched to Krank too, but I'd like to think EMG and Seymour Duncan don't NEED to kiss peoples ass to play their shit).

PS: The output on these things are crazy, I lower the pickup height way more than I'd ever put an EMG (those sound best close to the strings).
