DP700BK

Blaze™ Neck Model DP700BK.

This is the model originally designed for the neck position of the IbanezxAE Universe. The neck position needed to be warm, but not too fat (nobody wants the low x93Bx94 sounding like a tuba, right?), so we 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. You can get everything from a good jazz sound with a clean amp to a wall-of-sound with heavy overdrive. Many players have discovered the Blaze™ Neck Model is also a very good bridge pickup when playing with a serious amount of distortion power chords retain more openness, and single notes have a lot of clarity.

Recommended For All positions.

Tech Talk
The trend of the last several years has been to play 7-strings with massive overdrive. Taking the extreme low end of the seventh string into account, we've been recommending the Blaze™ Neck Model for the bridge position as well where the lower output and tighter lows create better chord definition. The latest 7-strings IbanezxAE has built for Korn have been equipped this way.
