Nazgul help

[Hsb]

My Jackson 7 string has a Nazgul in the bridge that has an obnoxious mid range honk that I cant seem to dial out. Played with the eq on both the amp and pedals and its just grating.

Asides replacing the pickup anything I can try to tame that snarl? Its direct mounted so unless there are spacers under the pickup I cant lower it any further.

Re: Nazgul help

It sort of has that thing going on, doesn't it? Have an EQ pedal? Drastically different EQ on the amp?

Re: Nazgul help

Yeah it does and is quite annoying. I do have an eq pedal, may have to play with that some and see if that helps any, if not I may be either pick up shopping or rehoming the guitar.

Re: Nazgul help

When I had one in my Jackson, I started the amp settings with the (in)famous 6-6-6 settings, then pushed the bass to 7, the mid back to 5 and the high back to 4. That cut the honk out and gave it a nice, defined, crispy growl. But, I was running through a 6505, so depending on your amp, your mileage may vary....
