    What is your favorite combo for active neck/bridge humbucker pickups? Looking for recommendations

    Hi there! I am kinda new to this active pickups thing. So far I am happy with the ones I got for my 6 string CGCFAD guitar (EMG 81&85). I've seen there is also a 7 string version but I think I want something different for my 7 string. What I play is heavy chugging riffs on my bridge pickup...

    Active Bridge Pickup Comparison: EMG 57 vs EMG 81 vs Fluence Modern vs Fluence Devin Townsend

    A very long time since I made some YouTube stuff, so I just made this comparison video. I personally think the difference between EMG and Fishman is that the Fishmans are a little bit more mid scooped. I think it all comes down to personal preference and probably depending on your amp/setup...

    Emg 85-7/81-7 or fluence modern in an ibanez rg1527. Will it fit?

    Hi everyone, I want to put active pickups in my RG1527 for an upcoming recording. I have not yet decided between EMGs or Fluence. Is it possible to install these pickups and fit the battery in a Ibanez RG1527 without carving the wood? For reference, as far as I know, the RG1527 is basically the...

    Shielding a EMG solderless active system

    Hello, I recently bought myself a cheap sevenstring and wanted to change the pickups. Now because in the past I struggled with soldering (my soldering iron is reaally bad) and the electronics in the guitar aren't great either i decided to buy active EMG solderless pickups and switch everything...

    1 More active pup before converting to passive?

    My Agile Intrepid 728 came stock with Blackouts. I was expecting to hate them and swap them out pretty quick, but surprisingly, I liked them After awhile though, the lack of clarity on the bridge pickup led me to swap it out for a Retribution 7. IMO the Retribution is like a more refined...

    Jackson JS22-7 Dinky Humbucker Question

    Hey all! So I've seen a lot of mention on this forum about the JS22-7, but it seems like most are dealing with the version I don't have. I recently bought one used and want to replace the PUPs but I'm a little concerned about humbucker size and compatibility. The Jackson I ended up with has the...

    Advice on possible second bass please

    I'm a relatively new bass player coming from a guitar background. My first bass is an Ibanez SR500 (4-string). Its a very comfortable bass to play, but I absolutely hate the tones I get. I've always heard great things about Bartolini pickups, so I think the main problem lies with the Ibanez...

    Blackout 7's Upgrayedd? (New to actives)

    So I'll try and keep this short and sweet. I bought an Agile Intrepid Pro 728 and had the intention of swapping out the active Blackouts it comes with stock from the get go. In fact it might be more accurate to say I bought a new guitar just so I had something to put a Liquifire and an SD...

    EMG pickups/tone help?

    Hi, First of all, this is NOT a rant, even if it may sound like one. I would love to be able to get some good use out of these pickups. I have some questions about achieving a good tone with EMG 707 pickups. Everyone says that they're awesome pickups, but I haven't had that experience...

    New pickups = placebo effect

    So... this is a controversial idea, I get that! And also maybe somewhat wrong, but it's still something I want to discuss. I have tried out a fair bit of guitars over the years and my experience with different sounds from different pickups comes down to this: Single coils sound different than...
