Anyone know what the alternatives of these would be?

Blaze neck and bridge
PAF7

Thanks guys.

lol duder

the 6 string version of all those came out first, afaik. drop the "7" off and that's the 6 version

I have the evo 6'er and it sounds NOTHING like the evo7
Also there is no blaze 6

Blaze Neck = PAF Pro or Evo Neck depending on what you really need.

Dimarzio says Evo Neck, but the pickup seems more PAF Pro-ish. It was also made for Vai in a time when he used PAF-Pros.

Blaze Bridge = Steve's Special. The SS was made to be 6 string Blaze for the most part.

The other 2 should be self explanatory, try the Evo2 for the Evo7..

^ i was close?

Edroz · 02-18-2008, 01:39 PM

most people seem to think the Evo2 has more in common with the Evo7 than the regular 6 string Evo. i personally havent' used either enough to give you my thoughts.

the Steve's Special (according to Dimarzio) is the 6 string equivalent of the Blaze bridge. i have used both in several different basswood bodied guitars, and while they do sound similar, they "feel" totally different to me. the Blaze seems to have a warmer looser feel, where the SS is colder and tighter.

can't comment on the others as i haven't compared them.

evo2 for the evo 7
ed's right on the ss and the blaze, but its the closest thing ive found

The PAF has an alnico magnet, while the PAF7 has a ceramic one and sounds NOTHING alike. Actually, this is a common trend with Dimarzio, and they can fuck off for putting the name Tone Zone on that horrible piece of monkey crap called the TS7.

ibznorange · 02-20-2008, 04:47 PM

the tz7 is GOD AWFUL, and is kinda sorta like the tone zone 6, in that theyre both called tonezones. oh and they have bobbins too. not sure if you can call the 7 a pickup really. thats pretty much where the similarities end.
