Seymour Duncan Blackouts neck pickup

[sneakerpimp]

someone (atrox) recently posted that this pickup has a sparkly sound, can anyone else back this up?

 

i currently have 81/85s with 18v mod and 85 in the bridge position. i love the 85 at the bridge and my metal sound is now dialed in, but the 81 to me sounds like {censored} in either position and renders the neck position pretty much useless so i'm looking for a new neck pickup.

 

EMGs and SDBOs have the same connector, correct?

 

will the blackouts work on 18 volts?

 

is there a difference in buying a bridge pickup and using it at the neck in case i change my mind or do i really need to buy the bridge version?

 

i play metal, classic rock and modern rock.

 

thanks in advance.

Here is the video demo i made. A bunch of awful repetitive riffs. You get some gain stuff at the end.

 

I really liked the neck pickup a lot. This is a clients guitar. SD's have the same connector and they will accept 18 volt mods, but I have not heard them with that mod.

I dunno about sparkle,, but you definitely want a neck model in the neck, not a bridge one. Hell, I'm tempted to buy a neck model for the bridge!
