Grangur Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Hi there, please can you tell me how the sound from this compares to SD quarter pounders? Please excuse my ignorance. Thanks

Please excuse my ignorance. Thanks [/quote] OK, I'll have a go. Duncan SPB-3's have a good top end but all EMG pickups to my ears have a very present high end in a different way (maybe it's at relatively higher frequencies). Also the EMG has a quicker attack, feeling almost instant, which I have never felt quite the same with any passive pickup. I'd say the EMG has a slightly compressed quality also, that passive pickups tend not to have. It's definitely still very much a "P pickup"" though. Much, Much more mids and "richness" going on compared to something like a 35DC. It's difficult to describe but I hope that helps.
Mornats Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Reckon this would fit in my TRBX in place of the neck pup? Might give me the zing I was after I've no idea if it would wire up to the existing preamp or not though

Your pickups in the TRBX are passive and the whole preamp is designed for passive pickups. An active pickup (like this EMG) needs a preamp designed for active pickups. Unfortunately it's not mix and match in this case.
Grangur Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Ahhhh... I'm looking for a passive pup. Many thanks though and GLWTS
Morten_B Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I would like to buy this from you.. I'm in Denmark - so inside EU and I will be happy to pay the extra £3 for the postage...

S'funny, it was always the neck pickup I loved in the TRBX !
