whats the most powerful passive pickup made today?

[KLOPS]

I have the dimebucker and is a little weak on the low end...

so whats the most powerful SD Passive ...I also dislike Mids if that helps...

[Rockstar216]

I think it would be the PATB Distortion. I heard some one hear made a tyranotiton it's suppose to be a super hot pup.

[CTN]

in my experience, the Dimarzio X2N

[jmh151]

Kent Armstrong Motherbucker.

[richard parker]

Have a look at Bare Knuckle.

[orpheo]

x2n/invader hybrid. hands DOWN!

[P.A.Foholic]

I think it would still be X2N. Lundgren M7 has had the highest output feel to my ears, though.

BKP Warpig is super hot but IMO it's not as hot as Lundgren M or X2N.

[KLOPS]

OMG...this could cost 1000's haha

is there a stronger Magnet then the alnico 8...I am ready to open a can of worms...hehe

[King IzzO)))]

Warpig isn't all that hot, just high resistance figures because it's 45 awg.

X2N and the Invader are still kings in this department.

Most "power" comes from the magnet, for the record. People really need to stop looking at resistance figures to determine output.

The cute lady from SD said that also...that the power is from the magnet...
I love the clarity from the dimebucker..but is missing that triple left hook...

the Kent Armstrong OTT is 44g wire, reads 25ohms and has a triple ceramic mag.

[orpheo]

yes, the Motherbucker is superhot with huge ceramic mags, just as the OTT, but is it that awesome hot? no. not really. I have that pickup and it's NOT that hot. I think it may turn out a lot of voltage, but it's not that 'hot' when you play it because it just acts as a superbig compression pedal.

Could very well be this : https://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/mai...kup=black_hawk


"Black Hawk humbuckers were designed in response to players' demands for a pickup that embodied the transparency and output of an active, with the character and wide dynamic control of a passive."

[Ashurbanipal]

I'd imagine that the Q-Tuners with the neodymium mags are pretty darn powerful.

[KLOPS]

I'd imagine that the Q-Tuners with the neodymium mags are pretty darn powerful.

Is dems the GODZ of pickups..never seen that thing before... and samples anywhere???

[idsnowdog]

Gibson Dirty Fingers, Invader, X2N, Kent Armstrong M215 and Mighty Mite Motherbucker.

Manluis custom hot is pretty freaking powerful but it has a lot of mids. If its bass you be needing the go for the invader. If you want big bass relaxes mids and sharp top. Go for the sh-5. Its not near as hot as any of these other pups but is definatly high output in my opinion. I have got some awsomly brutal tones from the custom.

I bought esp ltd with a custom 5 ..Its my new guitar for pickups...if the custom 5 don't work out....I am going to start looking for pickups Bass 8-10 O -Mids Treble 8-10

I want alot of bass...from the pickup cause its the only eq I use in the recording...my amp Bass in on 6 and Treb about 5...with no Mids..
so that means I need more bass from my pickups..if I add more bass on my amp..it colors my natural mids and highs out of the speaker..k100

[BloodRose]

Most of the big guns are mentioned. I DONT know the stats on this one, so dont flame me if Im off but what about the gibson 500?
