Title: Is the Cold Sweat 7 for me?
Post by: humanfuseben on November 24, 2012, 05:00:35 AM
Thinking of putting a set on my list for Santa to bring me! I have an Rg7621 I'm putting together at the moment. Basswood body , rosewood board, maple neck.
Pickups I like: the aftermath rules so hard, as does the d sonic, blaze, and D Activator neck in the bridge position.
I like: clarity, tight bass, smooth mids. I pump mids into the amp. I like a pickup with a bit of compression to it. I play light strings and I have a light touch with both hands, so I'm okay with the pickup doing some of the work for me.
I love some nice slappy single coil like pick attack, like the sound you get when you play a Tele through a high gain amp. Love that shite. That vowel-like annunciation on the attack is my favorite sound ever.
If the Cold Sweat wouldn't be a good set for me, let me know what would be!

Donīt know about CS in basswood but it sits perfect in mahogany...If you like Aftermath you will also like Holy Diver which supose to be more organic+it has better cleans too...Nailbomb would be good choice as well...
