Hi all,
I'm not happy with the stock pickups in my Schecter 7 string. They are fine in the rehearsal studio with my 6505 but for recording it's just not cutting it. The tone always comes out dull, muddy and farty with not much sustain no matter how I EQ or compress it.
I'm using amp sims and Impulses and I've got some great settings courtesy of the guys in the Sneap forum, but it still sounds a bit manky so I've narrowed the problem down to the pickups and/or the leads I'm using. Leads aren't a problem but I'm wondering what pickup to go for.
I've always been a fan of Duncans, I have one in my six string and it's a great all rounder for live and it's ok for recording but I need something more specific.
I'm tempted by EMGs but, a few opinions/recommendations would be nice!
Cheers!
