check out Martyr- feeding the abscess, Daniel Mongrain's band, dunno if they are around anymore but they are amazing technical death/thrash with a bit of math and groove in there imo best tech death metal comes out of canada, can't go wrong with that stuff

if i know a guitar has a bad setup, i just take the time to listen to the tone of the instrument, how well the wood resonates, does it generally have a bad tone or a good one, then i take it home and set it up if i like it that much and the price is right but a lot of the time if the guitar has...

DARK SOULS mutha ....as, can't wait for the second installment to come out

ibanez is always a great way to go, definitely agree with what most people are saying, bought my 7620 between 249-299 at GC used and its amazing, one the best 7s i've owned and ill never change the pickups or anything, its perfect but personally i really don't like LTD 7s, i had an M-207 and it...

done this before and about to do it again very soon: heres my advice from experience you need to replace volume pots 500k for most passive humbuckers, but BKP require 550k pots, you can order them at the music zoo.com, some say you don't need 550k pots for the BKP, but to get the most out of...

i'd go with the ibanez, they make the finest 7s imo, newer jacksons are kind of terrible, i had a mid 2000's jackson dinky and it was shit, and i've heard that jacksons these days are pretty bad quality in that price range

some of the best i've played for metal are ENGLs, the powerball and the blackmore are awesome and of course the good ol' stand by the 5150 i remember when i use to go to this studio before i had any good amps at home, i always requested the 5150 over anything they had, marshalls, mesas...

i don't know your money situation but honestly i'd use the Gibson for Drop C and tunings close to that tension and buy a completely different guitar for Drop Bb something with a 25.5 scale. i was tuning to drop Bb with a 24.75 scale length and it was never really right, always had trouble with...

for tuning to that low A a 25.5 scale with some heavier strings will suffice just fine, remember many 7s are 25.5 and they are made to tune to A, its quite common actually, the low G may give you trouble but its nuthin a few gauges more couldn't handle and the tone won't suffer too much to be...

since this thread is three years old, i hope this dude has already fixed the problem, and if not i hope he's sold the guitar by now

personally i feel ibanez makes the finest 7 strings, they are the go to brand when i want a 7, i know its so typical and standard, but just something about their 7s, i to be honest i hate there 6 strings, which i find funny i've played schecters, LTDs, Agiles, maybe some others i don't recall...

check the neck, if you have a bad bow in the neck either way, that itself can throw off intonation, always make sure the neck isn't bowed before doing intonation, a lot of guys say that you are suppose to have a little bit of relief in the neck, but i personally like my neck nice and straight i...

hmm looks rounder than my 7620, but to be honest i highly doubt that its a fake, i bought my 7620 for some where between 249-299, its just a bit lower than typical used price, so you just got a good deal

make sure those strings are very heavy gauge, basically on a 25.4 or even 25.5 you really aren't suppose to tune lower than A because of intonation issues you will have, although yes, this can be fixed with heavier strings, but doing this your tone suffers, which is why its much better to use...

oh man, no one ever mentions these guys but Novembre is awesome, very unique style especially in the realm of seven strings when everyone is trying to be the heaviest thing around

does anyone else feel that the dimarzio blaze 7 pickups are a bit fuzzy? i have an ibanez universe with the green dots from 91 and i dunno why but whenever i distort them i get this fuzz sound im trying to get a modern metal sound sort of progressive metal/melodic death metal tone think bands...

i've been getting some weird static buzz from my 5150, and i know that its normal for the lead channel to have hiss when not playing, but this is a bit different when im just playing like standard it has this static buzz almost intertwined in the tone, when playing chords, palm muting them...

yes i know this is true, but as far as my knowledge no ibanez universe green dot ever came with all black colored pickups stock, which leads me to believe that the pickups are not the stock blazes, or maybe the dude didn't like green blazes so he bought black blazes, or he bought black evo7s...

so i bought an ibanez universe "green dot" and i'm pretty sure its a used 91 model as most have been telling me, but the pickups are not green like it came with standard so i unscrewed the pick guard and to no surprise they are Dimarzios and to no surprise they are unlabeled(which i think is...

think i should try to bring this baby back to stock?
