New Jeff Loomis "Noumenon" Signature SD pickups (passive!)

[sell2792]

I'm replacing the Loomis Blackouts with these in my Loomis SL7.

I've had weird issues with those and the EMG 57/66-7 sets with regard to EMI in our apartment. Wi-Fi and cell phone signals cause lots of noise for both. Much worse than actives without exposed poles (which are as quiet as you'd expect), but worse than any passive model as well.

I haven’t had issues with the Loomis bridge in my Agile though I still think I’ll swap both pickups for Fishman Abasi’s. That way I can catch the tail end of the Fishman hype train before everyone goes back to EMGs, again.

They are in my SL7. They do indeed pick-up string vibrations. So, whew... that's good. Glad that's the case.

But in all seriousness, they feel mid-output. Kind of similar to a Duncan Custom. And no more weird EMI in my apartment.

Noumenon? They're going to run out of words for all these pickup models pretty soon.

Lol I’ll stick with the sentient+pegasus 7 string set then…
