hello
this "which pickup" is for a H-S-H maple neck through 7 string, that has a slightly longer than normal scale length (666mm :twisted: ), so its a bit brighter.
My favorite sounds are of:
death (symbolic, soun of perserverence)
cynic
wintersun
necrophagist
symphony x (oddisy)
I want the bridge pickup to be very punchy and articulate, slightly rounded top and not too compressed or mid-heavy, with good mids and tight bass. (see bands above)
the neck sohuld be of slightly slower attack and fatter, but not hollow, and should sound good coil-split and for cleans as well. (again - see bands above)
the middle single-coil just have to provide funky cleans (stratocasterish) and balance well with both humbuckers (coil tapped).
the only reference I have is my SD Invader 7, which is undynamic, too mid heavy and sounds unpleasent with chords more complex than power-chords. I want an invader antichrist :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
also I dont want to have boomy bass left after each palm-mute.
I know anything Tim makes will sound good (so I've heard), but I want it to sound as the above-description-good :D
any reply would be very helpful
