alan hipson Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hi This follows on from another post and has got me thinking ????? Has anyone tried staggering 2 x 6 string pickups to cover seven strings. If you tried 2 different sounding pickups would it sound wierd ? 1st and 7th string only on 1 pickup rest on 2 could it be wired up to be switch phasable ?

Southpa Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Sure, sounds like a do-able idea. The other option is to install blade style pickup, the ends should juuuuust make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethmetal Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 My fear would be that the 1st and 7th strings would not be as loud...especially th first. If you raise the pickups the most on the edges and least in the center, it might compensate a little. I know it sucks to shell out cash but it might be best to buy a pickup. Dimarzio has several choices for 7 string. As for the blade pickups the EMG HZ series is passive and reasonable..same with the EMG Select pickups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
