Just wondering how the stock pickups sound in the ib7. I've got one in the works ready to go and another coming as a custom order in October, just wondering if I need to swap out the pups for something meatier for a good metal tone.

Hey Andrew,
haven't seen many IB-7s built so not sure how the stock pups sound.
Might be on the safe side to upgrade them. You could always fit the stock pups and see how they sound and upgrade if needed

Thinking of getting the guitarheads hexbuckers. $50 a set! From the reviews I've read they sound pretty good.
they sound pretty good on the video clip Andrew, so these ?

17.4k ohms resistance on the bridge pup, woah !
$50 a set was US and postage will be ontop of that of course, but sounds pretty cheap for a set of 2 x 7 string buckers

They're the ones mate. Postage is $17 so not really a deal breaker. And you can coil tap them incase anyone wants a low f# single coil quack. Nobody? Anybody? Just me then haha
The ducks will flock from miles around to hear the marvel of the f# quack :P
It'll be the god of quack. Like a great big quoooooooooooccckkkkkkk.
Talking about 8 string single coil quack, Tosin Abasi from Animals as leaders has a single coil in his 8 string to give that legendary F# quack....except his is dropped so its a low low E quack.
That's a low quack. Will probably go that route. He explained why he tunes that way quite well, sold me. Now to get my two hand tapping and bass slapping down. Won't happen. That guys an alien.
If you want an alien for technique, the whole Dream Theater band members are all aliens. Theyre technique is too perfect that it just cant be human.
