Like it Heavy?

ISBM 19.07.2016

On the face of it, the Sentient may seem an odd companion for the Nazgul, the output is completely different, but it's not just about pure power!

The Nazgul is a low, super high gain, growling beast of a bridge pickup which handles low, dropped tunings with ease. You get great clarity and a not too bass-heavy tone (you don't need a bassy pickup if you're already tuned down an octave or two, right?!). From my research it is perhaps a little underwhelming in Standard, though I have not tried it myself above C#.

The Sentient is a Vintage output baby by comparison, with an alnico magnet (Nazgul is ceramic) and voicing set between classic rock and jazz. The combination is perfect however, with the Nazgul being the chug-master during the rhythm and the Sentient providing soft flowing leads at high gain. The clean tones too are beautiful, in all three positions on my ESP.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for passive pickups to replace ones that just can't handle the metal you crave. Though are they better than the active equivalent? That's for you to decide.

Value for money? Depends on how much you want to sound awesome...

Absolutely awesome

The best possible choice when you're in a metal band, absolutely insane, from the great rhythm Nazgul to the pure Solo Sentient and everything in between.Best choice for the high distortion and great for cleans.You can get everything out of them,especially for all kinds of tuning,very versatile.

WOW Powerful Tonal Majesty!

Theodore Ligas 12.07.2023

The Seymour Duncan Nazgul/Sentient 6 pickup set is a remarkable combination that delivers powerful and versatile tones. The Nazgul bridge pickup offers high-output aggression with exceptional clarity, perfect for heavy riffing and solos.

The Sentient neck pickup adds warmth and expressiveness, excelling in clean passages. Together, they create a harmonious blend of power and finesse, allowing seamless transitions between positions. The pickups' dynamic response and quality craftsmanship further enhance their appeal.

Overall, the Nazgul/Sentient set is a sonic powerhouse, providing immense tonal possibilities for guitarists seeking versatility and impactful performance.

Better sound than expected

Donald_DC5 26.06.2020

I bought these on a whim after looking through countless videos comparing passive and active pickups. Very glad I did as they are absolutely perfect for the type of music I play (Metal, Metalcore, Death Metal) requiring only slight amp changes. Notes are heard well and I rate these higher than my old actives I got rid of. As long as you know how to do a bit of soldering these make for an easy install.
