coz i find the inf 1 and 2 are sweet compared to the inf 3 and 4
like more variety a little |
Yes, I have decided to keep the stock pups... i don't think the guitar will benefit from the Duncans...especially the Jazz.. It will work against the midrange...
I have been tweaking my settings...and yeah actually I really like what I am hearing so far |

Ridzi aku nak mintak advise sikit.. aku pakai 7 string.. dulu aku plan nak masuk Tonezone atau Evolution kat guitar aku.. tapi lepas aku baca some dari foreign site.. dorang kata Evo dgn Tonezone tak berape cantek captured tali low B tuh.. dorang lebih rekemen kan D Activator.. aku pun tak berape gemar pickups yg high output nih sebenarnye.. so mcmner tu? apa yg sesuai?.. nak ikut kan hati mau aje aku masuk kan lundgren..tapi bleh beli sebijik guitar la harga nye..terase membazir..
pickups breed nih nih bleh ko citer kan sikit kerekter dia? _________________ Conklin GTG-7T

Honestly, kalau 7 string ni, kalau aku la - the pickup choice bergantung pada the kind of wood the guitar is made of.
For me - If the guitar is made out of Mahogany/Alder - I would install Duncans JB7 in bridge and Jazz7 Model in Neck - I really swear by these pickups in these two tonewoods - had them in my alder Schecter 7 - I like how the Duncans articulate not only the dynamics of the notes...but more importantly the actual tone of the guitar itself shines through. Of course every pickup will always add their own 'voicing' but thats up to you to decide
If the guitar is Basswood/Ash, for me its either (bridge/neck) EMG 81/81 (bright) EMG81/85 (medium brightness) or EMG 81/60 (dark ish). You can also try EMG85/60 which probably the darkest combo pickups - especially if you install a capacitor with a high value to cut the highs even more..
Breeds also have the tendency to be a bit muddy too (had them in my 7620) -As for me - i like a bit of mud - Been playing with EMGs for so long i am kinda sick of having to be so bloody precise i forget to enjoy playing EMG's are just so clinical and one-dimensional..
Here is me with my RG7620 a long time ago.....Playing it through a Hughes & Kettner Attax 100 - damn I miss that amp!!
IMHO they bring out the best in Basswood, without cutting the midrange - The tone is warm and if you would like to tighten it up you can always throw a BBE SonicMaximizer in your signal path to clean it all up |

Cherry memang bottom end dia agak prominent...salah pickup abis la muddy sound ko nanti... Hmnnn i think you better save up for a pair of Lundgrens M7's - I promise you...they are well worth it....
Yeah aku memang sebaya ngan ko... 1976 kan?? Aku nyaris nak beli Conklin dulu...
Mana ko beli..order direct dari diorang ke??? |

aku beli secondhand aje dari membe kat Florida.. dulu conklin ade kuar kan version yg bukan custom made..mmg tuk open market la..tapi model nih dah discontinued 2003 tak silap aku.. kurang sambutan agaknye.. so pendek kata aku punya version bukan yg custom.. ini pun sikit punya siksa nk dpt.. aku kena bersaing dgn mat salleh lain tuk dpt kan dia.. maybe aku lucky lah kot.. dlm ramai ramai tuh previous owner dia pilih aku lak.. hehehe.. _________________ Conklin GTG-7T

Schecter yang aku pakai tu feels quite beefy sebenarnya....rasa chunky dalam tangan macam Les Paul pun ade.... tapi macam Ibanez pun ade...aku takleh nak cakap la...Sorta in between a thin Ibanez Wizard neck and a chunky LP neck...
Does that make sense...aku tak penah plak try Schecter yang baru2 ni...but I can tell you this - they are comfortable.... I like them... |
