Help! What bridge pickup for an RG7620?

Brord · 11-13-2006, 08:42 AM

Hey, I'm looking for some advise.
I'm looking to get a new bridge pup for my RG7620. And I hear a lot of good thins about the d-sonic7 and the evo7 but what's the exact difference? I'm looking for a guitar sound like the behemoth has on the demigod album (clear! and punchy!). What about the SD livewire metal?
I'm also open for other options (Dimarzio, SD, Emg, etc etc).
I'd like to learn as MUCH as possible. How does each pickup compare to each other? What are the differences, te pros, the cons etc etc etc.

I find the stock pups to be dull sounding, like the guitar is tired all the time. It's also a bit fuzzy sounding... When I play the low A string it sounds a bit like I play through a fuzzbox... that really gritty distortion compared to when I play an rg7620 with emg 707's in it. I would also like to have some more output, I don't use a lot of gain, but still want to be able to get some cool harmonics.

I use:
Ibanez Rg7620 tuned to A (11-50+68/70)
Peavey 5150 I + Marshall 1960A

I still haven't tried an Evo 7 yet, but I know I didn't like the D-Sonic 7 in basswood. It sounds much better in mahogany.

I think something more along the lines of what you're looking for would be a blaze bridge or custom. (I'm trying to sell a Blaze Bridge, btw.) The BB is what most of the seven string recordings around are. Other than those I would recommend highly an x2n7, they kick ass.

I've heard some sound samples of the X2n(7) and all I remember is that I really didn't like them at all. I'm not saying I don't like the pup, because I've never played one... only that the sound samples I've heard (also on this board) I don't like.
Is the blaze gonna be more clear and higher output than the standard rg7620 bridge pup?

Well then I would suggest the Blaze Bridge.

Yeah, it's going to be much, much clearer.

Trust me, I've had the New 7 issue. Every pickup I've put in my RG7620 afterwards has sounded worlds ahead of them. The Blaze is very defined. I believe it is more output, it is a high output pickup. But output is easy to adjust with any pickup, just make it closer to the strings.

Allright, thanks... I'll take the blaze into consideration but I'm still curious about the other options... (D-sonic 7, Evolution 7, SD livewire metal or other SD's)?
