DiMarzio Blaze 7

Pickup features: Humbucking passive pickup
Impedence or other specs: Read up on this part

Model of guitar or bass: Ibanez RG-7420
Position: bridge
Pickup being replaced: Stock
Other pickups on guitar: Stock in the neck position
Artists using this pickup: I have no Idea.
You musical style(s): Metal
Reason for pickup change: I wanted more guts and clarity. I got it good now.

Perceived output level: This pickup took the sound from muddy. To in your face heavy lows and tight highs.
Tone: With the tone knob on the Ibanez you can get it to sound the way you like.
Sonic evaluation: My amp is a old Randall RG-300 from the 80's and some cheap Marshall 4X12. loud as hell. I run my guitar through a Boss GT-6 Effects Processor. I had the most bad ass metal sound I ever had. Then I got this pickup and it felt like some one took a blanket off my amp. Now I have the best metal sound in the world. Now you can hear every note picked.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: This is a great metal pickup and it's killer in the bridge position.

Comments: I love this pickup. I also own a Jackson DX-7 and it has a seymour Duncan 7-String Invader in it. The Blaze has way more clarity, wich I was looking for this time. The Invader is all bite. It can kill somebody. If I had to pick I would say the blaze because, it fits better in most pickup cavitys and it's just a little bit cheaper. Don't get me wrong, the Invader is killer but, It was hard to put in the guitar. The only thing The blaze needs is just a little more bite but it does great. I am going to get another one for the neck position.

You musical style(s): fusion (in a T. W. lifetime sense)
Reason for pickup change: Gibson open coil that equipped this cheap machine are just lacking output, sound, timbre and personnality...

Perceived output level: quite hot
Tone: strong bass and low mid, nice treble will a slight roll off feel
Sonic evaluation: wellllll I am using mostly a VG8 (so nothing applys here) a Vamp2 from Behringer, and a combination of a TubeAmp attacking a Lag Spitfire...

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: I play stuff that range from fusion to metal to ambient... Yeah. Ambient

Comments: Geez, definitely suddenly the guitar awoke.
I have been playing for about 20 years. Used lotsa things, but mostly mediumly priced one.
These p-u just sound great, with a lively feel like they want to get all the place they can while trying to conqueer other frequency land (am I oly clear).
They sound like you have to tame them every note (with is quiet ajob)
They sound rich and full with a little something that can show with weirder wiring: I put a 5 position swith so the 2 is both external coils of each pu and 4th position is the two inside ones.
It gives it a sound like a music man bass. Yeah, bass not guitar.
I like to slap on the guitar, and it just nail the stinfray (for some reason)
I heard that evolutions are souped up blaze? Maybe if I had to chnage, I'd try those, but only if it is true. Other wise, I'll jump in the blaze 7 train again !
