Best pickup for fat chug and rythm?

DeL07 · 05-17-2007, 09:39 PM

I'm curious what's the forum's opinion when in comes to the best pickup for a really fat chug and awesome rythm?

For a 6 string, there's nothing crazier than EMG85, APC Persuader Custom and for ultimate crunch the SD SH-13 Dimebucker

But for 7 strings I'm really not that sure....

Evo7 man. In the bridge position, its absolutely brilliant. Its tight and sharp yet crisp.

I would look in this forum and you will find that there are a few threads like this one where poeple were looking for tight bridge pups.

Ultimate crunch... the Dimebucker?

999dead666 · 05-18-2007, 04:50 AM

i agree, i had the sh-13 in my ibanez and it was the crunshiest i ever played. tight and thick mutes . for my 7 i have evo and it cant get better.

Stitch · 05-18-2007, 04:59 AM

Anything Bareknuckle written on it.

Of course it can.

The Lundgren M7.

Evo's are very good, but pickups like the M7 or Bareknuckles really are on the next level.

I think the Blaze chugs quite well - it's got a great low-mid growl to it and doesn't need uber-hugh gain to get that gut-level feel to it, to sound good.

DeL07 · 05-18-2007, 02:47 PM

Are you talking about the Blaze Bridge?

And how is it that the Evo is a nice fat rythm pup? It's all high-end mostly for soloing no??

mmmmm EMG85 is sooo godlike...

I second that the Blaze Bridge is so far my favorite pickup. I must say I love the scooped mids on it I can just easily dial em back in on my amp to get a perfect fat powerful sounding tone. Oh yeah the chug on this thing is enough to make my balls rattle.

I like the X2N-7, of course your mileage may vary.

Totally incorrect. That may be true of the Evo 6, but the Evo 7 is different. It sounds AWESOME for rhythm and heavy riffs. No, it's not the fattest pickup, it has a lot of attack and is articulate, but it definitely has a lot of guts and balls too - great for rhythm not just leads.

If we're talking about DiMarzios, for "fat rhythm", I'd probably go with the Blaze Neck in the bridge or the D Sonic 7. The PAF7 in mahogany is incredible as well. The Blaze bridge and others are great too, but I don't think of them in the ways you are describing.

Duncan Custom. It is an absolutely brutal pickup with a massive low end punch and clear, articulate highs. I love a pickup that makes the rhythm sound seem to implode when you start palm muting, almost a THWUMP sound, and this pickup has it in spades.

If you are so obsessed over the 85 (joke) have you considered the EMG 707? Supposedly similar to each other, right down to the AlNiCo 5 bar magnets.

I agree there as well, I was only thinking of DiMarzios for some reason. The Duncan custom is a good way to go. The low end can be almost too much with certain guitars though, so be careful.

christ! 707! if you love that 85 you'll dig the 707, the best neck pups ever, oh yea!

I agree. I've always liked the DiMarzio Blaze.

Michael · 05-18-2007, 11:34 PM

I think the X2N-7 cuts it quite well. So do Blazes.

I'll second that, I like my Blaze's. Got no reason to change. I might experiment with additional guitars, but the RG7620 is keeping the Blaze's in it.

I'm looking to find an equivalent match to them in output & tone for my six stringer.

You upgraded the stock Dimarzio New7s in your RG7620 right? Cuz those aren't blazes.

I'm curious, would throwing a Custom in a Mahogany guitar create somewhat of a honk in the mids and a fart in the lows??

Nats · 05-21-2007, 08:28 AM

d activator. they sound heavier than my blazes, and about the same as my 707's

Zepp88 · 05-21-2007, 08:53 AM

Does DiMarzio have a pickup that is comparable to a Duncan Invader or a Duncan Custom?
