These are the stock Cepheus active pickups from an Agile Interceptor 7string . Asking $80

I have to say that after hearing these pickups back to back with the blackouts I installed, that they are actually a lot better than I originally gave them credit for. They aren't quite as high output as the blackouts (but what are) and they don't quite have the same "bottomless pit of bass" that the Blackouts do, and they don't quite have the same high end clarity. BUT they are surprisingly close and a heck of a lot cheaper than Blackouts.

To anyone interested, I did 2 clean audio recordings, direct line in to my recording software with the "simple guitar tone" in guitar rig 4, one with the Cepheus and one with after I installed the Blackouts. They are nothing fancy, just playing a spectrum of notes in the same order for both samples, using the neck, middle and bridge settings. These recordings can be Emailed to anyone that gets in touch with me.

The only thing I did to the Cepheus pickups was install a .047uf capacitor in between the neck pickup and the selector to un-muddy it a little. These pickups are the same dimensions as the SD Blackouts (phase 2) and the EMG 707s etc. and come with everything you need including; springs and mounting screws, 4x 25k tone pots, a 9v battery connector, a stereo input jack and 3x .047uf capacitors (2 for the tone pots and the one I used to mod the neck pickup).

Shoot me an Email if you are interested and want the comparison MP3s.
