Title: RGD2127 bridge PU suggestions and covers ?
Post by: mindwarp on February 09, 2012, 07:33:29 PM
Hello people!!

So I'm taking the leap of faith and decided to get some BKP goodness for my RGD2127.
It's got a Basswood body and I play a lot of styles, but mostly tech death and djenty stuff from obscure bands like Cilice, aside from Meshuggah/Fellsilent/Periphery etc etc. From what I've read in other threads and in other forums, I've settled on the Cold Sweat for the neck, but I'm confused about the bridge option. I had a Painkiller in the bridge in my RGA 121 but IMO it was thin sounding. Not too keen on the 7 string version. Also, the Aftermath is supposed to be like the PK on steroids so is that any good with a Basswood body? What other models should I consider? Warpig?????

Also, the finish on the RGD is a matte black and I'm not too sure what cover option would go best.. I'm leaning towards black battle worn, but what do you guys think about Camo or even Burnt Chrome ???? (Yes, I know the cavity will need to be re-routed)

Thanks in advance!

That option seems like it'll work for what I'm expecting.  :)

I'm thinking of getting them both in battle-worn camo with black bolts, but is that option available for 7 string covers? Also, how do I select both camo and battle-worn if I'm ordering from an authorized US dealer? Thanks!

Is it axe palace? well just email tim first, and ask him personally. If yes, then instruct axe palace about your order

Yeah I think it's them, or Zimbloth on ss.org
One question, I'm thinking of getting the camo finish shown here: https://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=20963.0 except with black bolts.
I can see there are many variations on the CAMO finish especially, how do I specify this exact one?

I know what you're saying brah.. I'd myself suggested and installed a green Blaze custom in one of my friend's black RG7321.. It definitely looks killer with a gloss finish, yes.
Besides, I've already put my axe in the shop to get the cavities re-routed. :-/

Yea the cavities need to get re-routed for covered pups, they don't fit in the stock cavities.
