Evos vs Breeds

ShredGH · #1 08-07-2009, 12:19 PM

Hey guys I was just wondering which set is better. I'm looking for like a "for the love of god" Vai type of sound, lots of sustain, highs, and harmonics. I have an rg350mye that I'm going to put them in, it's basswood.
Thanks

i'd assume evos

I'd go for Evo's.

Although the DiMarzio site compares the Blaze bridge pickup to the Steve's Special.

Though to be honest, I don't know whether the track was recorded with a JEM (which at the time would have likely had PAF Pros) or a Universe (with the Blaze).

It was recorded with the UV(blaze pickups), there are a few parts where you hear the low B-string played. But this song sounds good with the Evo 7 on my RG7620, so I'd say Evo is still a good way to go for this song.

dont want to put you off but i had the same choice before.was either evo's or breeds for my rg2550z,i fitted evo's man it sounded hideous,think evo's sound way better in alder body guitar.i pick breeds if i were you.

Ya know a lot of reviews I've read have been hit or miss. I was gonna pick evos but now I don't know again lol.

For the love of god was recorded with paf pros if I remember correctly.

callen3615 · #8 08-08-2009, 11:38 PM

Actually I think the whole p and w album was recorded with paf pros.

Hunter Wingate · #9 08-08-2009, 11:54 PM

I didn't know he had PAF pros in his UVs.

Ok. Based on any of your personal experiences, how do evolutions work for you?

callen3615 · #11 08-09-2009, 02:21 AM

I like the evo. I just replaced the evo in my 550 for a paf pro tho. I think it is much more versatile than the evo.

Hey thanks guys I think I'm gonna actually go for an evo2 in the bridge but do any of you know what I can match that with in the neck? a breed or an evolution?

See I'm the other way, I think Breeds sound bland compared to Evo's. I've got 4 Evos in various guitars and 0 breeds.

BS! my HAM sounds great and I've never heard anyone complain about the 10th's tone either.
