Blackouts are in the Loomis

HaGGuS · 01-23-2008, 10:53 PM

After a false start, I finally got the blackouts installed in the Loomis..
First thing i noticed was the tone was brighter than the 707,s i replaced..

And they are vewy vewy quiiet .. shhhhhhhh

Now i must state that im not a great player.. the term novice comes to mind

But even i can hear a difference..
notes are clearer on clean settings...
and it seems to handle distortion settings very well ..

I only had a quick 20 minute jam...
It only took that long to conclude that my hellraiser is getting a set..And the 7420 ..

If your sitting on the fence about getting a set..dont hang back any longer..
They are great pups..from clean tones to overdriven metal mayhem

Zepp88 · 01-23-2008, 10:56 PM

Hell yeah dude. I finally wired up my Blackjack earlier today. The Blackouts are quite impressive

The only thing I would change is making the neck pickup even more passive like...I still prefer passives for lead tones.

But they're freakin warm! Very nice cleans, and the distorted tones are nothing short of brutal.

Zepp88 · 01-23-2008, 10:59 PM

And did I mention the midrange character!

Also, that's quite a sexy grain on that Loomis.

VicerExciser · 01-23-2008, 10:59 PM

Awesome

I'm throwin Blackouts in the first seven I buy

By early 2009 hopefully, I need to save up.

Zepp88 · 01-23-2008, 11:02 PM

Is it bad that Phase II blackouts make me want a Loomis?

Stitch · 01-23-2008, 11:02 PM

Yes, since the Phase II's are for the Ibanez - so why the fuck are you wanting a Schecter?

JPMDan · 01-24-2008, 02:20 AM

I'm tossing a set into a xiphos 7 for sure, nice pics!

HaGGuS · 01-24-2008, 03:56 AM

i was soooo keen to get the xiphos 7..
then i had it confirmed that its made in indo....

sadly.. i wont be paying the price they will be asking..

seeing the 6 string version cost 1500 rrp in oz...
im scared to see what they will charge for the 7 ..

now i gotta wait to get my 7420 back.. and hook it up with blackouts..

muffgoat · 01-24-2008, 04:38 AM

I am damn interested to try those out man, almost contemplating putting some in my schecter... btw sick guitar dude

Apophis · 01-24-2008, 07:21 AM

ohio_eric · 01-24-2008, 08:58 AM

I would like to see both pics of the Xiphos 7 with blackouts, and picks of the RG7420 with blackouts.

blackout · 01-24-2008, 12:48 PM

Ah man, these things are brighter that the 707's? I thought the 707s were verging on too bright already, thats why I wanted to try these....

I read the bridge model is, but the 707 neck model is close to that of the 707.
