Blackouts installed in 2027 (*14.4k don't even bother)

djpharoah · 11-21-2009, 03:12 PM

So I finally got some pics of the 2027 after setting it up with Blackouts. The wiring wasn't that bad and I got the wiring schematic here somewhere. The key was to get EMG pots as they are direct replacements for the IBZ ones. It's currently setup with Daddarios 9.5-56. These pups are really sweet. Wish I hadn't held out this long to try them out. All I can say is BOs are very very passive sounding and very rich and much more organic sounding than EMGs.

Here are some pics in the warm sun that just came out of the clouds about half an hour ago.

EDIT: Nov23/09
Recorded an 80s Classic by White Snake - Still of the Night. My rendition of it - solo blows as I totally winged it.
The amp is a '68 Marshall JMP Boosted with a TS7 and off course my blackouts.

I agree - these pups are nothing like the EMGs I tried before. They are very responsive and sensitive. Helped me realize I'm a very sloppy player.

I read this and was thinking "psshh.. Dean would never put piezos on an RC7 lolololol"

Then I looked at who said it and immediately thought

haha thanks men

I had EMGs in that guitar before and BOs just sound better with that wood combination and this model. I still love the sound of 707, they are just different.

I like that top on your 2027X djpharoah

Very versatile and man this 2027 sounds amazing. Everything is now tighter on the bridge pup, the neck is smooth as like a 59 or Jazz and their gain is pretty much controlled by my "volume" pot.

ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU POSTED PICS YA WHORE!

I always thought that myself... like a 59 and JB/SH6 hybrid on steroids. They look like they always belonged in that guitar... great job on the install! The bridge isn't too shrill with the tremolo is it? I have that problem with DiMarzios at times, versus a string through.

Yeah it sounds like a very over the top 59 which is awesome. The bridge is like a nice 6 String Duncan Custom or 80s JB.

Clips please!

Harry · 11-22-2009, 07:15 AM

I definitely dig that less compressed nature of the BOs compared to EMGs, especially since I'm not a strict metal player either.
They look great in your axe man, I love how it looks.

mattofvengeance · 11-22-2009, 07:17 AM

I'm still on the pickup hunt for my 2027. I'm thinking blackouts too, or perhaps Bareknuckles. This guitar is going to scream with my new head

btw Mesh, mine's prettier than yours

Demoniac · 11-22-2009, 07:26 AM

Awesome looking axe, dude. I loved the Blackouts when I had em in my 6er, when I eventually get another 7 i'll put a set of Blackouts in them

Thanks - SD did a great job with these pups. They are really a great innovation. Now I'll wait till they release a coil tappable neck pickup for those great single coil leads.

7 Dying Trees · 11-22-2009, 11:29 AM

running of the same battery as the piezos? any mods to the wiring needed? which pots did you replace, all of them?

Mattmc74 · 11-22-2009, 11:42 AM

Congrats Mesh! I was thinking of useing BO's on the 7 i'm building right now.

Nope - I'm running a separate 9V for both circuits. The two circuits (piezo & mag) are very separate - they only interact with each other with the 2/3 way switch. The pots that need to be replaced at the normal volume and tone pot. I replaced them with EMG sized 25k pots vs the SD sized ones as those have a larger outer diameter. If you need any help etc hit me up.

Sweet Matt - they are sick. Think this is my best and thickest tone yet from a 7. The mahogany and BOs just vibe really well.

They are great for bluesy tones when properly dialed in and great hard rock tones too.

Just a cheezy 80s White Snake rendition/cover of mine of their song Still of the Night.
