Pickup Update - Blackouts

After the resounding success of Blackouts, we've decided to expand the line by offering Blackouts active for electric guitar humbuckers with chrome, gold and black nickel-plated metal covers. Now, you can enjoy the extreme metal tones that Blackouts offer while retaining a classy, unique and metallic look that coordinates well with all guitar hardware finishes.

The covers utilize a nickel silver substrate, the same cover material we use for our classic passive humbucker covers. The nickel silver substrate provides nearly no magnetic interaction with the pickup and is ideal for surface plating.

In other Blackouts news, we're proud to announce the launch of Blackouts for Bass. These active 4- and 5-string soapbars and on-board Tone Circuits are voiced for the aggressive bass tones of metal, classic metal, punk and heavy rock. Instead of the radical EQ boosting and cutting required to make flat, sterile pickups come alive, Blackouts for Bass delivers the goods with less tweaking. The Tone Circuit offers two focused bands of EQ dialed-in to the frequencies that metal players need most. Blackouts for Bass have more of what you want: cleaner highs, deeper lows, and greater dynamic range than traditional active bass pickups. This high energy, expansive sound is capable of covering all your other gigs with ease.
