This thread is gnarly, and great input!
A question for (Zimbloth ) anybody, I'm looking to swap my stock pups for some BKPs in my Ibby RG7620 - basswood body with maple neck and rosewood board.
Right now my interests are in the Coldsweats and Holydivers, but I'm looking for a recommendation based on what I'm after:
In the bridge I wan't lots of balls with that growl/snarl in chord voicings under high gain. I love hearing every note clear and equal in a large 7 string chord. Thus I particularily want immence clarity and dynamic. Articulation is key.
In the neck I'm after a pup that will produce incredible leads whether they are geared toward fusion or hi-gain applications. Fluidity, clarity and articulation must be prime, and the cleans must be exceptional as well. I'm really swayed towards the Coldsweat for the neck so far.
I play Progressive metal/rock primarily, as well as fusion, heavier stuff and the odd reggae jam here and there. I want to be able to get nice jazz cleans and blues crunch if needed too.
A little sum of sounds I like are Planet X, Guthrie Govan, Periphery, Porcupine Tree, Meshuggah, Sikth, AaL, Chimp Spanner, and oldschool prog like Yes!
Cheers
