Re: tone zone 7
lol, over 5 years and no one help this guy out? What if he is still waiting for the answer?
Anyway, I was wondering how similar the
tone zone
7 is to the regular. I know they use different magnets, but I hear some people say they are similar and others who say they are totally different.

Re: tone zone 7
I have a tone zone regular in a
swamp ash
OFR strat, a basswood RG760FM and a TZ7 in a swamp ash seven string. Although the magnets are different between the 6 and 7 versions, I would say the overall EQ shape is comperable. I say that because both my swamp ash 6 and 7 are extemely bright guitars tonally, and the TZ/TZ7 respectively has the same effect to the tone - enriches bass and mids and backs off top end just enough to balance off the tone. I am eager to try a TZ7 in some other woods.

Re: tone zone 7
I use a tone zone in my Mahogany SA220FM which I absolutly love.. a Tone Zone will be in the bridge slot when I pick up another Mahogany guitar for sure.
I had the ToneZone7 in my Universe which is basswood it was good but sounded nothing like the Tone Zone in the Mahogany. I would say the EQ curve is the same but wood is going to make the difference in sound.

Re: tone zone 7
I have more experiance with
Duncan pickups
, but in my up coming
alder bodied
RG, I want to try a Tone Zone in the bridge, but what in the neck? I figured I would give the Dimarzios a try for something different.

As always, it really depends on the type of
neck pickup tone
you like.
More classic tone? PAF Joe,
VirtuAL PAF
, etc....
More "modern", Prog Rock tones? Evo neck, Air Norton, FRED, etc...
Let the way YOU play aid in your decision making. Be honest with yourself and choose a tone that you REALLY like. Meaning, one that would make you want to play for hours on end. Choose the neck pickup accordingly.
It takes a lot of trial and error to find the right pickup. Reading reviews, and other players comments can help to a certain point. The only way you'll really know is when you install, and try the pickup out on your rig, with your touch.
