Title: Just bought a Brown Sugar set for my Blade, but it has a VSC boost circuit.....

Can I still change them into the Blade and use the circuit?

iirc the VSC is a circuit board in the control cavity.  the pickups are still normal pickups so a swap should be possible.   Its only really if they had built the circuit into the pickup itself that you would have issues

Fitted and sounds great! Thanks for all your advice! I used a tip from Guitar and Bass Mag by fitting spade connectors - worked a treat and sooooo much easier!  8)
