Bridge-Pu for an Agile Septor 727
« on: October 22, 2010, 06:07:22 PM »
Hi Folks,
Here I go again ... this time I "need" a suitable bridge Pu (the neck has already been chosen to be a CS), for my new baby:
A Agile Septor Pro 727, which means a sevenstring guitar on a baritone scale. the construction is neck through (a maple-walnut sandwich) with a mahogany body and an ebony fretboard.
The whole thing will be used on a G# or G tuning, for progressive extreme metal, with stronger influences from the post metal genre and psychedelic music (A very interesting combo, I hope I'll have the possibility, to be posting some material in about half a year).
I am using a very dynamic 2 channel amp, and plan to be exploiting the output difference between the CS and my bridgePu, to get 2 sounds in the gainchannel (one "kill" and one athmospheric chrunch-distortion)

I really like the sound of my schecter blackjack with the painkiller bridge (tuned to dropB), but am wondering, if this might not turn out a little too bright for this guitar?
the other alternative would maybe be the ceramic Nailbomb?

The Sound I am searching for, should be rather brutal and aggressive but not too fizzy (but on the other hand not too creamy), very defined and tight for fast stuff and complex chord progressions, but sound "huge" ... and have enough low mids and high mids to to the pushing job, the guitar should do

The cleans should form a counterpart to the warm CS


well ... what's your opinion?

Maybe not your first choice, but the Black Dog could do the job in lower tunings. It stays tight and the mids are very present, I read.

The issue with the black dog is, that this would be contraproductive soundwise:
I need an "higher" output bridge Pu (higher as the CS in the neck), so I can exploit the difference in output between bridge and neck to get one highgain and one crunchier sound, as I only have 2 channels on my amp
@warpig
I already have a warpig in my LP-baritone, and I don't like the sound as much as my painkiller, a bit too bassy ... but well, maybe different guitar = better suit?

I see your point. Maybe The Miracle Man would be an option for lower tunings. It has not the amount of bass like the Warpig and will stay more tight. Ask Tim at BKP for advice

Ofc I asked Tim first ;)
But he is not here at the Moment, and the recommendation I got instead, was:
Painkiller or CBomb

Neck-thru + Ceramic Warpig = perfect. With the baritone scaling and bright neck-thru/ebony board it should be great.
