I've switched most of my speaker cab's to NEO speakers for weight reasons, not sure what advantage NEO pickups would have. 

Dave W:
They have a website. https://www.916pickups.com/

No real info about the company.

MusicMan uses neo on its Stingray Special. Discussed here: https://blog.music-man.com/instruments/stingray-special-spotlight-neodymium-pickups/

Grog:
The Stingray uses active NEO Pickups. Not enough info on the 916 website to tell if they are active or passive…..

Are the pickups themselves actually active, like EMGs? It sounds to me like they're running the pickup through an onboard 18V pre-amp. The 916 pickups only have two wires, and the description of the neo P says "no need for batteries".

Alanko:
I think the pickups themselves are passive as they appear to have three hookup wires. Judging by the post on this forum, the wires correspond with the start and end of the coils, plus a chassis ground, grounding the poles. No requirement for power to the pickup:https://forum.seymourduncan.com/forum/the-pickup-lounge/335857-ernie-ball-stingray-special-18v-neodymium-wiring-in-series-help-swap-smb-4d
