DiMarzio DP700 Blaze 7-String Neck Pickup Black Exceptionally tight, designed as a match for the Blaze humbuckers in split mode Blaze for 7 string Neck This is the model originally designed for the neck position of the Ibanez Universe The neck position needs to be warm, but not too fat (nobody wants the low "B" sounding like a tuba, right?), so DiMarzio scooped out some of the mids to brighten up the low notes and we kept the power down to a reasonable level to avoid unnecessary sludge Middle Seven-string guitars are hard to amplify Most players tune the seventh string to a low B (or even A), and it's a real trick to get a big, solid tone from the other strings without the seventh turning to mud
