Which pickup is for me?
« on: May 28, 2012, 12:55:15 PM »
I'm getting a 7 string soon, and wanted to know what pickup would suit me the most. I want a pickup what can do  death metal/grindcore riffs like the band Dying Fetus, Carcass, Napalm Death, etc., some djent, thrash metal like Kreator, doom, and maybe a little black metal riffing similar to Immortal. One with a half way decent clean tone is preferred.

I'm looking at an Ibanez RG731, and various Agile brand guitars. So the body will be either basswood, or mahogany.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

My first impulse would be the painkiller, as it certainly brings the brutalz and can do djent too. As far as I know the neck also does the required decent clean tones.
Should certainly destroy as you need. Very agressive.
