My Ibanez RGR08LTD. I see this as one of the better made ones from the Indonesian factory.
This was the original pickup in it; a factory default Seymour Duncan active Blackout humbucker.
It was removed & the Nazgul took over. I would describe the Nazgul as a mystic Distortion, lots of vent-up anger shrouded by the black arts, ready to be unleashed. Is it a direct substitute for the Blackout? A passive unit will never do an active's job but it can deliver aggression on its own merit. I think I've lost interest in active pickups, they were not my thing to begin with & I see this swap as a sensible move.
