Description
The ESP LTD BS-7B QM Ben Savage Signature 7 String Baritone is a low-down 26.5″ scale monster that is the ideal choice for extreme metal. Features such as its quilt maple top, Floyd Rose tremolo and DiMarzio D-Activator humbuckers make this an instrument worth every penny.
DIMARIO D ACTIVATOR 7
Active humbuckers have a distinctive sound: powerful, clean, open-sounding, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. This also fits the description of a great 7-string pickup, if the problems associated with active pickups — sterile sound and limited headroom — could be eliminated. The D Activator 7 models do just that. And it doesn’t need batteries.
The Neck model has both power and clarity — the low “B” string stays solid and doesn’t sound like mud with extreme overdrive, and the high strings sing all the way up the neck.
The D Activator 7 Bridge has the same loud yet clean sound as the best active humbuckers, and killer harmonics. The low “B” string is all about attack, not mud. It responds instantly to hard or light picking. In a word: it rocks. No batteries required.
