So I'm looking into getting some new pickups for my 7-string. I play in a southern metal band with various other influences so I'm going to need something pretty versatile and with some crunch. Any recommendations?
Anyone?

Duncan JB/Jazz set.
In that guitar, a '59 neck/Custom bridge would work, too.

Since he said southern metal, I thought the JB would be a better fit. It has more of that rude grit IMHO.

Actually, EMG's would be terrible for the kind of thing you're trying to do. The cleans are not that great, and would probably have the worst voicings for the type of music you're trying to play. Also, you'd have to get a Dremmel tool and route the guitar for them since the EMG's are freakin' huge. I play a Revenger 7, which is close enough to the guitar you have, and I'd go with what Noodles suggested. But since your'e set on EMG's, I guess there's nothing more I can say.
Well, I thought about it and I probably wouldn't be using this guitar for what we play. I most often stick with my Les Paul for the bluesy stuff. So for this guitar I'd like to go for a different sound. Something heavier.
Which ones would you suggest looking at?
For Duncans, I'd go with a JB/'59 (standard in a Schecter C-7 Blackjack and great, versitile pickups) or a JB/Jazz, like Mike and Noodles said

I'm a Southern Metal player as well, and I use Schecter C-7 Hellraisers, in part because I love the EMG 707's, so those are what I would point you to.
