Title: ibby 1527 bridge PUP swap
Post by: K-Roll on April 21, 2017, 09:59:41 AM
Hey guys

haven't been around for a while and i am curious - what's the current meta when it comes to ibanez 7 strings with basswood and floyd rose tremolos?

I currently have mine equipped with a DM Blaze Custom 7 and single note runs/leads sound nice, but I play rhytm mostly.
I'd benefit from a sound that is more saggy, full,  gnarly, growly and 'collosal' than 'midheavy' which it is now.
Sometimes it gets almost anemic playing rhytm fills if i compare it with my friend's low-cost  indonesian apex with blackouts. that guitar sounds like twice bigger and meaner

Any recommendations? I'd like to stay within the output levels of blaze custom which is higher aiming for a modern full GRRRRR sound :)
(standard B tuning just to mention)

Thanks to all of you!  :afro:
