Dimarzio PAF7's and Blaze feed-back issue

sex_art · 01-20-2008, 10:17 PM

My RG7620 still has it's stock pickups and ever since i got it it's been giving off sooo much feedback (i've tried multiple amps just to check that wasn't my problem)

You can't turn your amp up without it squealing

maybe you guys know why it's doing this but i have no idea!
so i'm thinkng about simply buying some Dimarzio PAF7's i hear they're used in the Apex?

So what i'd like to know is...is it simply my Blaze pickups coursing all this and if i were to buy 2 PAF's would i buy 2 exactly the same pickups or would i need a special neck one and a bridge one...as i see they're sold single...assuming its the position of the pickups that makes the difference then thats the case.

Thank you!
this is really pissing me off

1. Moved to the right forum.

2. Sounds like your pickups are microphonic. I'm doubting you know about wax potting, so simple advice would be yes. Try a pickup swap. It could also possibly be an electronics issue, but I doubt it, offhand.

Thanks for your help!
I don't have a clue how i'd sort this im pretty stressed

oooh thanks allot for this! this definitely seems to be my problem.

Don't even worry about it, dude. It's an easy problem to diagnose, but not easy to fix. I'm one of the few dudes on here who could.

If that is the deal, a pickup swap would likely fix it, as I said.

ugh looks like im going to have to get new pick ups

could you please help me out with where to order them? keeping in mind im in the UK.
I'll just buy 2 PAF7's and take my guitar to a shop and get it all fixed...i hope.
cheers!
