    Help me decide on a 7 string neck pickup

    I've been doing a BUNCH of research, watching videos, listening to clips, doing pseudo-blind tests (where my wife plays clips to me when I'm looking away from the monitor) and I think I have narrowed it down to the Sentient, Full Shred and Jazz. I'm looking for a single coil like snap, bite...

    Active pickup to replace an EMG 85-7X in my Schecter Loomis

    Hey all Back again asking for pickup advice :P This time it's my Schecter Loomis 7. I replaced the stock 707's with and 85-7X and a 60-7X. Now I barely use the neck pickup on that guitar anyway, and the bridge pickup is not as tight as I'd like. I mean I'm that guy who hates using any kind of...

    MIM Roadhouse 2017 strat: bridge pickup?

    Hey all I picked up a Classic Stack plus for the neck and a Classic Stack Plus RWRP for the middle for my MIM Roadhouse 2017 strat. What should I put in the bridge? Torn between 1) The Custom Stack Plus: Slightly overwound, warm, lots of bass. This pickup has RAVE reviews. 2) The Hot Stack...

    Absolutely massive pickup conundrum (a.k.a. why choice can be a bad thing), help!

    Hey folks. I've been SO indecisive about pickups for ver long now. I recently bought a Stratocaster (Mex) and really enjoy the single coils in the neck and middle. The bridge however, different story. A lot of people do manage to get great tones out of bridge single coils, but it's simply not...

    SSS Strat, need single sized 'bucker in bridge. Aiming for Les Paul-ish territory.

    ^Title. I want something that's medium-ish output, not terribly scooped, I like my mids. But not a silly amount of mids either. A fairly neutral pickup. Mainly because my strat has a mid boost circuit in it. Cool rails (Bridge)? Little 59? Other? Thanks!

    Bridge pickup to pair with the Stag Mag Neck (modern prog metal context)

    Hey all. I'm making a purchasing decision: I'm a HUGE fan of the classic strat neck tone. But I also play a tonne of modern metal that needs a rather bright humbucker in the neck. So it appeared quite obvious to me that I should stick a Stag Mag in the neck: until I realized it's a HOT pickup...

    Questions regarding the way certain pickups are EQ'd

    I have two questions that have been bugging the crap out of me... 1) Most of Duncan's neck pickups are EQ'd to have a mid scoop, and YET they're paired with mid heavy bridge pickups: The JB with the Jazz, the Distortion with the '59, The Pegasus with the Sentient, etc. So in a dense mix...

    Ordering specific pickups online. Please help me. Kinda-sorta-urgent.

    Hey there, forum! I'm looking to order a few pickups. EMTY 7 string Blackouts Phase 2 and the '59/Custom Hybrid 7 string. I cannot seem to find either of them online! Why is this? Can somebody tell me how I can get my hands on these pickups? I want to order online because my folks are in...

    Confused. Hard ash guitar. Full shred 7 set or 59/Custom Hybrid bridge and ??? neck?

    Schecter Jeff Loomis 7 string. Looking to go passive, just like nearly every other Loomis user, LOL. Bright guitar: ash body, maple neck and fretboard, glued neck construction. Looking at Alnico 5 pickups, mainly because every ceramic pickup I've played has this annoying scratchy thing going...
