Whats up everyone? New to the board here, hope you guys can help me.
I just got a Carvin DC727C 7 String. The Body is Alder with a Quilted Maple Top. The Neck is Maple with 2 Koa Stripes and the Board is Ebony(if that matters). It has Active/Passive Electronics and I'm thinking about replacing the pickups. I'm looking for a Vai/Petrucci kind of sound but I also want the neck pickup to be able to produce a great Jazz sound. So basically I want a good Progressive Rock/Metal sound while also being able to get a good Jazz sound from the Neck Pickup. I was considering putting a Dimarzio Evo7 in the Bridge and maybe a Blaze in the Neck. I know the Blaze can produce a good Jazz sound but Dimarzio's Tech Support told me that maybe an Air Norton 7 would be better for the Neck. Can anyone give me any good suggestions on a pickup combo. Any brand really...as long as it fits what I want. Also, would the Duncan Jazz Humbucker be good for the Neck Position? Thanks a lot, Marc
