Just make sure about the spacing of pole pieces. FR has wider spacing and it's good to make sure they will nicely cover the spacing of the strings

Thanks NPB1979 and Darius Some great information there. Watched a couple of videos on YT and it doesn't look to difficult. I have lots of experience in soldering so that wouldn't be a problem in the slightest. I am most likely going to be going for a set of Bareknuckle pickups. Do you know if these would fit into a Schecter Hellraiser FR without any problem or am I best to get in contact with both Schecter and Bareknuckle. Cheers Sean I would look into this, to go from active to passive you will need to change almost all your electronics and if you don't like it , sucks to be you. this pick up has the alnico magnet which cleans up better and with the coil tap, I think you could get a good range http://www.zzounds.com/item--EMG89 This post has been edited by jstcrsn: Feb 28 2014, 12:00 AM |

Yeah it would be really annoying if I didn't like it. I will have a look at that pickup and consider my options |

FYI you'll also need new pots - actives generally use 25k pots while passive humbuckers are usually running 500k volume pots.
