If you hate them that much, send them to me :wub:

i actually like them. the chris/mike hybrid has two left hands

I liked them on my 8-string (where did that thing get off to? ) but they are what convinced me that active pickups suck. It only took like two weeks :lol:. Just not my thing.

I liked the 707 in the bridge of my Hellraiser, but hated it in the neck. However on the Hellraiser, that was with my 2101, and really all I did was play high gain metal with it.

I think I'm in the same boat. I'm sure that for people who like actives, they're probably awesome. In my opinion, they managed to make a 2027 suck. :lol:

I'm still on the fence with the ones in my Xiphos. Sometimes I think they should awesome, and other times I think they sound like mud.

Been considering a Crunchlab/Liquifire setup, but afraid it wouldn't be 'metal' enough compared to the Blackouts. :lol:

Have you tried DActivators? I really like them - they're awesome for metal, yet warm/articulate enough that you can back them off for lower gain stuff. Nice and crisp for cleans as well.

That's what the guitar had stock, they sounded too thin/bright to me. :lol:

The only thing that's stopping me from the CL is that the D-Snic was a noisy bitch, and I don't want that hummy shit again.

Chris is wise.

I have a set I need to sell. I hated them in my Loomis.

Hm, I have a DS in one of my RGs, and it's not hummy at all. :scratch:

Same with me. It's almost active quiet.

Is it only the DS7 that's noisy? Because that's what I had, and I thought the 6 was similar...

 

[Naren]

:lol: Difference in taste then. Blackouts are my favorite pickups out there. And I didn't care much for the DActivators (I didn't dislike them, but I didn't really like them either).

My DS7 is as quiet as any other pickup is or isn't

Well, you're either a lucky bastard, you have a very clean power, or a noiseless rig, because everyone else who's used a DS7 has had noise issues. Pretty known issue on ss.org. I had one for over a year, and it was not a fully humcancelling pickup compared to anything else I have as far as passives, and no where near as quiet as the BOs that end up in that 7string before I sold it.

So, I guess I'll pass on the CL/DS.
