New EMG rival?

Hey guys, read about these on another forum and thought some of you on here might be intrested [if you haven't seen them already]

Seymour Duncan AHB-1 Blackout Active Humbuckers ... they look intresting, might give 'em a try when they get to Australia.

Old news. Meh, if I wanted an active pickup sound I'd get an EMG81, if it's been used for ages amongst metal guitarists it's for a reason. But I hate actives.

If i wanted an active pickup, i would think "why the fuck would i buy a guitar so shitty that it needs an active?" ditch the guitar, slap myself, and get a good guitar with a good passive.

I was very bemused as a youngster watching the Golden Girls when Blanche said she was going to "spank her fanny" I had visions of a geriatric vertical bacon sandwich red and bruised from being disciplined!!!

i'd like to know how it plays, it sounds fun... but everytime they say "active" in the description, it puts me off of it.
