Help finding a 7 string bridge pick up!

[Colin Bruce]

I need help finding a decent 7 string seymour duncan pick up for my Ibanez - i have a JB Trembucker in my 6 string RG - so i'm looking for a similar sound for the seven string but a little heavier but still keeping the full rounded lead tone the JB gets on my six string - any ideas?

Cheers

Colin

If you want JB tone just buy a JB-7. It's a regular production model. What ibanez 7 do you have?

Basswood RG 7s and Duncan don't seem to mix very well from my experience, there's something lacking in most cases. The closest to a heavier JB i can think of would be a Dimarzio Blaze Custom. it has some of the JB looseness, is fat sounding,middy and powerfull. It also has the more rounded lead tone you're thinking of.
