81-7/707 set then?Unless they're playing the ones from the two best records.
...What DID Loomis use back in the day anyway? Between 1996 - 2000 it seems like he just used anything lmao.
Because people are fucking stupid and they believe that the reason they aren't outplaying Satriani is because they don't have the right pickups.

Ugh ANOTHER signature set. At least SD does less sig versions than fuckin fishman
Jeff is always so late to the signature game with his smaller products lol he nailed it with Schecter way back when his was one of the better 7-strings in the market, but ever since stonetone...

In retrospect it's kinda funny. During his time in Nevermore, he wasn't using much signature gear or seemed to be taking many endorsements. After Nevermore broke up and he joined AE the amount of sig gear and endorsements skyrocketed even though he was in a way more popular bandJeff is always so late to the signature game with his smaller products lol he nailed it with Schecter way back when his was one of the better 7-strings in the market, but ever since stonetone...
Hey gotta make bank somehow I guess lol
Well, for Politics and Dreaming it's 81s for both guys according to Kernon. Dead Heart is actually mostly the 707, with some JB, according to Sneap. He also had that weird-ass proto 7 from the small company I can't remember the name of, that had such early Duncans in it that they actually sawed four bobbins up per pickup and glued the together, then soldered two cut-up baseplates together. I wish I could find pics of it...81-7/707 set then?

You know, at least these are...different. Slightly.
if my guitars have two volume knobs, does that make them twice as dynamic as Jeff’s? I’m still 1/100th the player, but we’re talking gear here
My right hand also offers dynamic control. It also controls my volume knob... Fuckin hell, I should be a signature product!

Lol so I was close. I was referencing Enemies and Godless which is when he first started using the 81-7 iirc?
Also I went back to some old convos and I think it was Axtra that was thrown around?
The first Seymour Duncan 7 string Humbucker(s)
back in the late “90s, i heard that larry brooks (fcs masterbuilder) had gone to seymour duncan and that duncan was working on developing 7 string pickups. i came onboard as an artist at that time and i got a couple pair of hums for michael stevens in process builds. pre 7 string bobbin...

Jeff Loomis - Dead Heart
Dead Heart In A Dead World Ok, does anyone know specifically what Loomis used gear-wise during this recording? Besides being my favorite Nevermore album, I also think it has some of the greatest guitar sounds in all metal history. It seems that Loomis was the only recording guitarist for this...

Dang, now that you mention it, mine too....
How much for you to give my guitar a signature handjob?
It's off season so $20 plus lunch

Wow. Another pickup with dynamics, tight bottom end, bell-like highs, full mids and it makes my dingus three inches longer? Thanks Seymour Duncan!
