An EMG 81.
Since it was active (battery powered), the passive neck pickup would have been disconnected.

KISS, well Paul at least, were using EMGs for years so that may have influenced Vinnie's use.
Either way, he stuck with them for a while.

Often you see him the with the white/black pickup on the neck and a all black one on the bridge, then some of his other jacksons rr had 2 unbranded black pickups even his double v had the same pickups

This was later, and he was using passive pickups.
I do remember an interview talking about his VVV from Jackson and he was saying how sonically pure it was, and he was using an EMG then.

Vinnie told me that after a while he went back to PAF pickups and preferred them.
