Pickup advice needed for Passive 7 pickups, WG587.

So, yeah. Passive 7 pickups, WG587, intending on drop A, possibly a half step down. What do I want?

To post this in the forum called "Pickups, Electronics & General Tech"

I'm currently debating what pups to drop in the WG587 I have on order as well

CGord · 03-11-2007, 06:33 PM

Damn! I knew I'd screw it up!

OMG SEARCH N00B!!!

It depends on what type of sound you want and what type of music you play. Check the "Pickups, Electronics and General Tech" thread.

If you have the money, Bare Knuckle Pickups. I am waiting on my Ceramic Warpig and Cold Sweat neck. But, my friend has them in his guitar, and it is br00tal, let me tell you...

DiMarzio & Seymour Duncan make some killer pickups.

Those are the brands I had in mind. JB, Custom, Distortion, Drop Sonic, Air Norton?

Also, how about a thread move?

Vince · 03-11-2007, 06:50 PM

Air Norton / JB is my preferred setup.

In a mahogany guitar, IMO, it just doesn't get any better than that.

In basswood, however, the JB and Evo pickups can sound thin, depending on the actual guitar. I had a JB 7 in a basswood ESP and it sounded terrible, but when I transplanted it to my mahogany Ibanez S7, it was incredible.

I'm a big fan of the JB 7, the Evo 7 (for extremely high gain, higher than many actives from my experience), and the AN7. I think Seymour Duncan makes a Jazz 7 too, but I'd still recommend the AN7 for the neck pickup. I've heard the Evo 7 is pretty cool in the neck position too, but I've never tried it.

I'm actually very interested in trying out a Tone Zone 7 myself.

Oh, and hey no prob on the thread move

This isn't Harmony Central. No.

I did, however, take the liberty of changing the thread title to something more appropriate, so I don't have to say "OMG MAKE PROPER TITLES N00B!".

The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams.
