Seymour Duncan SH15 Alt8

[Lasse Lammert]

the IMO best passive pickup

Best pickup for which music style?
Better than Bare Knuckle stuff for fast and tight attack?

Currently have both guitars equiped with EMGs/SD Blackouts, but I want to switch to passive on one of those...

 

[Lasse Lammert]

for modern high gain and downtuned stuff.

MUCH MUCH tighter than BKP!!!! (don't believe the internet hype...while BKP are great pickups (no doubt about that) they're far from tight (at least if you compare to something like EMG81)...I know, the fanbois will disagree, but it's just a fact.

Check this video for example:

IME the SH15 is the closest you can get to an EMG81 with a passive pup (as far as tightness goes)

Really keen to try these out. Will likely be doing the next Untruth CD with them in an ESP Horizon!

Too bad... last thursday i orderd one new. You should have offered it a week earlier! ..damn..

That sounds really interesting! Never heard of that pickup before.

Why do you sell it? Which pickups do you like more than this one? Just need to know that I can classify your taste and recommondation better...

I like EMGs better
I'm selling this because I put the original Jackson pickups back into my RR1...I like these better than the Jackson pups, but I wanna have the guitar original again

I like EMGs better

Haha, that's the problem I love my EMG-Xs, but I hate the looks.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

I LOVE the looks of EMG

I'm partial to the plastic cover myself, but not so much the tone of the pickups.
