So was there ever a consensu on which Duncan works best in a 7620?

kmanick · 01-05-2008, 04:24 PM

since mine came today (my first ever Ibby)

and I hate these stock pickups.
I've seen multiple discussions on this but I've yet to see the
"concluded answer".
I don't like Dimarzios so I'm thinking maybe a Duncan set,
but I've also never owned a Basswood guitar before either
so tonally I don't quite know what matches up best with these
darn fangered japaneeze fellers

Dave (noodles) or Mike you guys ever play basswood bodied 7's?
(since I know you guys are Duncan guys, you may have a clue.
I'm thinking Jazz for the neck , but I'm lost as to what to put in
the bridge of this thing.)

i'm more of a Dimarzio guy, but my best guess for basswood would be either the Custom or Distortion and a Jazz neck?

the price may concern you, but the guitar heads 7 string hexbuckers actually sound really good in basswood ... Welcome to GuitarHeads.net

i've also been curious about these too, as i've heard good things...

Stan Hinesley Hand Crafted Hand Wound Pickups for Guitar and Bass

just some other options for you

then again, i've never tried any 7 string BKs, and i like Dimarzio D Activators... so my opinion really means nothing on this site

ibznorange · 01-05-2008, 06:20 PM

custom/jazz. however, even those arent great in basswood. dimarzios do just sit better in basswood guitars

kmanick · 01-05-2008, 06:49 PM

So what do you think then,
an Evo/Jazz combo? or Evo/AN7 ?

djpharoah · 01-05-2008, 06:56 PM

EVo/AN7 is my vote.

DeL07 · 01-05-2008, 07:04 PM

Blaze or X2N7 and AN7 gets my vote.... I don't like the EVO7 at all in basswood...

djpharoah · 01-05-2008, 07:43 PM

The EVO7 is by far the best pup i have used in a basswood guitar. I have one now in my mahogany k7 as well and its just crazy.

Jongpil Yun · 01-05-2008, 10:17 PM

Whatever you do, Evo 7 in the bridge for sure. Don't be afraid to mix pickup companies, I have a Duncan in the bridge of my Strat and DiMarzio's elsewhere, though in hindsight that was a mistake because I hate that pickup.

I've never played an AN7, but I have a Blaze in the neck of my 7620 and I'm kind of meh on it.

guitarplayerone · 01-05-2008, 10:39 PM

blaze neck slays in my guitar, but its mahogany+ maple. I would go with an AN7 in basswood, personally

ibznorange · 01-05-2008, 10:40 PM

Evo AN7. the jazz is pretty solid in basswood, but it isnt quite up to snuff with the an7
