Bulb - "Icarus Lives!" by Absaloms Axe

It is probably the most fun to play this song on a 7-String guitar with droptuning ;-)

I'm using an Ibanez RG 7321 with DiMarzio D-Activator 7 pickups and run directly in a Carvin V3.
The Cab is a Marshall with 1x12" Celestion GT75 speaker.

Just did this video because i live the song and Bulbs creations at all.

Sorry for the mistakes (it was the first (and last) take).

Check out my myspacepage for some of my own stuff:

Hope you like it.

awesome sound! i'm thinking of buying this pickups for a carvin dc727 (mahogany body and flamed maple top), would you recommend it? (sorry for my english, i'm learning)

@TuGinecologo

they're pretty decent sounding pickups and would fit way better in a mahagony-body compared to my basswood board. So yeah don't be afraid to try them and see if they really fit your personal taste!

Hey! Great cover! btw what do you think about the rg7321? I´m thinking about buying it for my first seven string. But i´m not sure yet, everybody says that the low b-string is very muddy and... dry sounding? Is that true? :D

[LaBre4]

@RlKK3 I'm confident about the guitar.

I shot a used one on evilbay and for a medium-low-budget guitar it defly kicks ass.

No special issues with the low b-string in my case.

I swapped the pickups for personal taste though. (needed moar gain! ;)

@snowmankapow Your spelling is terrible. Durrrrrr

[snowmankapow]

i had the way you bend. its terrible

[decimater75]

It's well played as far as fret accuracy, but I can barely stand to listen to it for a few reasons. Firstly, there is absolutely no reason to vibrato EVERY note that is an eight or longer. Then in the part where he starts saying "hear temptation" has vibratos and you don't play them. Secondly, that tone is terrible. Try using bridge pickups only and turning the bass down and treble up. Lastly, pick harder. Your notes have no life.

GREAT!

Hey man, I was wondering how you like that Carvin V3. Is it good for like... real tight metal tones? Can you get something close to like an ENGL-esque tone out of it?

Also out of curiosity, how tall are you? That guitar looks huge on you.

@hatecore64 Never played the 1527 so can''t compare them.

But I'm defly confident about the guitar. Feel and plays well and sounds good to me.

The quality is nothing special but still solid. If i were you i'd probably get the RG1527, block the trem and swap the PU's. Thats a great thing for sure ;-)

Be sure to give both a test ride to check if it suits you well.

@LaBre4 haha yeah! Maybe i then pick up this guitar for 360€ used with some seymour duncan pickups with it ;)
