Title: 7 string Blaze Custom vs DActitvator
Post by: markdminer on October 22, 2016, 03:20:43 PM

Thinking of swapping Blaze for Blaze Custom or DA in Ibanez RG752fx. Basswood, fx bridge. Metal/shred. Comparisons/thoughts?

I have the Blaze and Blaze Custom.

I discuss going from one to another here: http://darthphineas.com/2016/04/dimarzio-dp703-blaze-custom-bridge-model-7-string-humbucker/

I've only used the D-Activator set as a 6 string version and could discuss it from that perspective if you like.

THAT was a great review! Ok I'm sold and ordering a Blaze Custom! As for Deact's I absolutely LOVE them. I just dropped a DA in the bridge and Air Norton in my Jackson KE2. Pure metal nirvana! As for the 7 strings I opted for a lower output and slightly less aggressive vibe and the original pups in my 7620 (I'm STILL confused what these are) but some swear it's the Blaze and they arent going anywhere! The Blaze Custom and PAF 7 in the 752FX  should prove a nice contrast and will post a follow up once I drop it in. Thanks again!

Have you pulled the one out of the 7620 to see if there are any labels on it? 

Or contacted Ibanez or maybe even asked DiMarzio to see if they know?
