active pickups (7 strings guitars)

[Fuentealba]

I was wondering, are there any active pickups besides EMG-707?

I'm very curious, because I haven't seen any but EMG.

thanks buddies!

There's the 81-7 and the 60-7, but other than those and Bartolini, you're SOL.

 

[Fuentealba]

what does SOL mean?

 

[JeffTD]

Shit outta luck.

He's right, that's about it for actives - Lundgrens are called EMG killers for a reason, though, and if you're looking for a pickup that's clear with an insanely high output, the Dimarzio D Activator is tons of fun.

Don't duncan make 7string versions of the livewires?

I have EMG 707s in two CS Jacksons and a Lundgren M7 in another. The M7 is not, IMO, an EMG killer. It's a great pickup, but if you want the articulate sound on an active pickup you won't get it from the M7.

I have never seen a LiveWire for a 7-string, Wee Face. I'm still recommending the D-Activator, which I've played with and installed in my 6 - the level of detail in that pickup is unfuckingbelievable.
