What do you guys think would be best for a modern thrashy 7 string set? Think older Meshuggah, Jeff Loomis (Nevermore), Rusty Cooley.... fast heavy staccato low rhythms on a 7 string... lowest note either Bb or Ab, but also lots of neoclassical/shred kinda lead playing..... Is the CWP hotter than the MM? Does it have less treble than the MM? Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who likes the sound of the EMG 707 but also the sound of bands like Meshuggah... I'm just thinking about going with passives to allow me coil spitting options for clean playing.
Tim's MM clip from a long time ago kinda reminds me of Jeff Loomis' sound and style of playing, so I think that might be a good fit.... very tight and clear, but nice lead tone too.... CWP seems interesting too though, although I've heard it's a little darker/smoother sounding, is that right?
