Active pickups.

the BQS is designed for Bass Guitar Pickups. Have you used this on a guitar before ElRay?

7 Strings of Hate · 04-20-2007, 12:22 PM

as you can see in my avatar, i have the stock pups in my s7420 still, they look nice and i have a s7320 and a 007 elite both emg loaded, i figured that i'd leave the passives in the 7420 for a while cuz it is nice to have a few options, the stocks in my 7420 have awesome highs and mids, but the low is fuzzy muddy and not crunchy, so i've been using it to record solos, if you have multipul 7's you should get a few different setups, also, one thing i totally forgot to mention about actives, the secret of it is , not what sounds you make, but what sounds you dont make, they pick up everything so clearly that if you have sloppy playing, it will be exposed immediatly, passives i feel the fuzzyness can hide some sloppy playing imo

I know. That's why I said "something like". I've got a support e-mail into EMG asking if the system could be used with 707's, 808's, etc. EMG also has separate "mid-notcher" and "mid-booster" for guitar, but they're not as adjustable, and I don't know if you can hook-up both at the same time.

i;m sure it would work, it might not work the same as it would with bass pups, but hey, you might find some kinda cool sound it gives ya and you'd be the only one

I just got this from EMG Tech Support:

You can use a BQS if you like, but I'd recommend a Control over a System, as
the System's balance board can cause insertion loss. There's also a chance
that the circuit board may be too long for the control cavity. Our active
stuff has a pretty flat response overall; you can use guitar pups with bass
EQ's and vice-versa.

My bench guitar currently has a VMC installed, with two old EMG-60's; no
selector switch. Rotating the top knob simulates a wah pedal.

@7 Strings of Hate> If you want to try a good powerfull passive just check out a BKP Ceramic Warpigs, those kicks ass.

7 Strings of Hate · 04-20-2007, 02:48 PM

oh, the bare knuckles? i have heard pretty good stuff about them, the make 7's i'm assuming? any particular model super hot output?

Ishan · 04-20-2007, 03:10 PM

The one I mentioned, Ceramic Warpigs (like its name says it's a ceramic loaded variant of their Warpigs pickups) it is said to totaly blast a 18v moded EMG81.
BKP do all their pickups as 7 string on request for no additional charge if I remember, just contact them via their website, Tim the owner is a nice guy (and he plays in Iced Earth too hehe)

7 Strings of Hate · 04-20-2007, 03:29 PM

damn, nice about the no charge for a 7 string version

Ishan · 04-20-2007, 03:38 PM

I'm GASing for a cold sweat/ceramic warpigs 7 string matched set, I don't have my 7 string yet

I still have to wait a week or two :|
