Hey!
I know that there are lots of threads dealing with the 7-string-PU question.
But this is quite different.
I have two Ibanez basswood bodied RG7s. Both sound totally different when played unplugged.
I discussed the basswood-qualtity-thing a lot and I am sure both are great qualtity basswood bodies, with totally different timbre.
My Universe has a loud, middy tone (very light basswood) and my RG 7621 has a well defined sound with lots of attack and brilliance (heavy basswood).
The UV now has installed Blaze neck and D-Sonic 7 and the RG 7621 still has the stock PU's installed.
I'd love to have one guitar with D-Sonic7 and Air Norton7 and the other with Blaze bridge + neck.
The Blazes have a scooped midrange, so I am asking my self what combination will be best in what guitar.
As mentioned, the UV alread is louder and has a warm tone. Should I therefore use the Blazes, to reduce the mids or should I use the D-Sonic7 and the AN7 to emphasize these mids?
I know - best way would be to install the PUs and then exchange them and see which result would be the best - BUT my RG 7621 will be equipped with green DiMarzios, so I cannot simply change the PUs...
