Hey all,
I very much enjoy those hi-gain "modern" rhythm tones (I know the term is extremely vague, think stereotypical rock to metal tones through a dual rec), and one of the pickups I've thought work well for that have been PRS's HFS bridge pickups.
The considerably lower output seem to give it more bite and "growl" for me which I really love when playing chunky, down tuned rhythm sections, but the pickup also has excellent cleans, which I guess is expected from PRS. This is all just preference of course.
Anyway, I've been looking at a similar sounding pickup for my 7, (HFS only comes as 6 string), does anyone know of any pickups with similar characteristics? They don't have to clean up that well but what I'm really looking for is that midrange "growl".
From what I can tell I think the Dimarzio D Sonic 7 might be an option. I've heard it is very "grindy" and "in your face" but there's not a lot about it on the net though so if anyone has any experience with these as well any info would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Joel
