    Passive SD vs EMG vs Fishman Fluence

    Hey everyone, I've been wanting to make this comparison for a while. I recently rounded off my ESP LTD Phoenix collection so I now own 4 of the same model, each with different pickup configurations. This means that I can now compare the pickups (or guitars) through an amp and see how they sound...

    Liquifire 7 AND D-Activator(n) - Unique Tonal Options?

    I have a basswood Ibanez RG7 (RG7320Z), with D-Activator 7 neck & Liquifire 7 (coming in the mail). The D-Act (neck) I plan to use in the bridge, but interestingly, both D-Act & LFire are "able" to be used in either bridge or neck position. What do people think of the options here? I "can" do...

    EMG 57/66 passive alternative

    I have a PRS SE Custom 24 with a Floyd Rose that I need new pickups for. The HFS in the bridge is good, but not great. It's too one-dimensional. The Vintage Bass in the neck is pure mud. I really like the tone of the 57 and 66, but I would prefer passive pickups to split the coils. Are there any...

    Oh look, it's another pickup thread

    Well here we are again.... Some one's asking about pickups again. For those of you who say my latest post in my RGI alu neck build thread, you'll know I'm still undecided on pickups for my build. I find it's easier to work with bullet points so I'll go ahead and list em': Guitar spec: -...

    Looking for a solid passive 7 string

    I'm looking to get a Les Paul kind of tone out of it. I'm thinking something along the lines of a PAF or something, maybe a little hotter. Would like to stick to Alnico, just something somewhat warm and well rounded. Something that can pull off everything from early 2000s hard rock to modern...

    Passive pickups for a Hellraiser 7

    I have a Hellraiser with emg 707s I'm looking to swap out for passives. I've been playing a les paul alot and I really like the paf sounding pickups in it. Looking to get a clean well rounded pickup set that compliments the deep sound of the mahogany but hot enough to hit decent pinch harmonics...

    NPD: Guitarmory Red Stone 7-string pickup set

    I bought an Agile Septor Pro 727 (NGD here) about year ago that I had come with the Bare Knuckle Aftermath set installed. With the bridge, the clarity was great but the low end was never that full really and any kind of chugging/palm-muting would get compressed pretty hard and everything sounded...

    Potential Feedback Issue with Lace Aluma X-Bar Pickups

    Hey guys, I recently bought a Strandberg Boden OS 7L with Lace Aluma X-Bar pickups. I had never used Lace pickups before and everything I read made them sound awesome. However, my pickups seem to produce an intolerable amount of feedback and the only way to fix the problem is by turning my amp...

    1 More active pup before converting to passive?

    My Agile Intrepid 728 came stock with Blackouts. I was expecting to hate them and swap them out pretty quick, but surprisingly, I liked them After awhile though, the lack of clarity on the bridge pickup led me to swap it out for a Retribution 7. IMO the Retribution is like a more refined...

    New pickups = placebo effect

    So... this is a controversial idea, I get that! And also maybe somewhat wrong, but it's still something I want to discuss. I have tried out a fair bit of guitars over the years and my experience with different sounds from different pickups comes down to this: Single coils sound different than...

    So EMG 81-7 vs passives

    I know that the masses are going to say any passive is better than actives but.. since I already have EMG 707tws in my guitar , I don't want the Hassle of the whole switch from active to passive (maybe when I have more money so I can do it right) so I just want to know how would an 81-7...

    I need suggestions for better pickups (active)?

    Hi, I own an Agile Interceptor 7 string with EMG 707s that I got last November. The guitar plays great, and acoustically, it sounds amazing and loud compared to my other electric guitars. However, when I record with it, it sounds so dark and muffled, as if it's being recorded from behind a...
