Description
Some active pickups need coaxing to sound aggressive. The Blackouts skip that step entirely — Seymour Duncan voiced this matched soapbar set specifically for big, forward bass tone, so you’re not fighting a preamp just to get thump and clarity at the same time.
Expect a wide dynamic window: lows that feel thunderous rather than muddy, and highs that stay crisp instead of brittle. The dual-blade construction keeps string-to-string output even across the board, which matters whether you’re digging in with a pick, popping with thumb and fingers, or playing featherlight fingerstyle. It’s a soapbar that flatters technique instead of masking it.
Drop-in fit is a big part of the appeal — this set is a direct replacement for the EMG 35, so swapping over doesn’t mean reworking your bass’s routing. Mounting and wiring hardware is included, so it’s ready to install without a parts-store detour.
For players who want more shaping control, the Blackout 2-band tone circuits (STC-2C-BO concentric or STC-2S-BO stacked) pair naturally with this set, letting you dial from vintage warmth to modern aggression on the fly.
