Hey guys!
So I recently made a wicked score I couldn't say no to: a '99 Ibanez RG7620 for $575!! It has a set of EMG 707's in it which I like, but I'm feeling they could be better... I've used the 707's in Basswood bodied guitars for a while now and like the balanced tonality of the combination. But with this RG, I feel it could be a bit tighter: a tighter, deeper low end/bass response & a smoother, more refined high end - especially on the high strings...
I'm trying to find some good comparison videos between the following sets and am coming up short... Im considering:
*EMG 57-7/66-7
*SD EMTY Blackouts set
*SD Jeff Loomis set
I'm not considering the Fishman Fluence series as I have a few different models of them in other guitars and I'm not 100% sold on them like a lot of people are. And rhe last time I tried the SD Dino Cazares Retribution, I pulled them out to put the 707's back in...
I want to keep the actives in this one, since it already has all the wiring, pots, switch and has been routed for the soaobars. That, and I have a '99 Ibanez Universe UV777Bk with passives in it for the difference between the two...
So for anyone out there with an Ibanez RG7620 and with actives, what's your pickup of choice???
