Question for BFR JP7 owners

[6s_and_7s]

New to the forum, and I searched before I posted this, but didn't really find an answer.

For you BFG JP7 owners, how is the low B?

A little backstory, I had a RG1527 that the low B was pretty much not there. No volume, no real depth on any of the notes (B - E). I changed pickups, from stock to Tone Zone 7, to D Sonic 7, to finally Blaze's. Nothing helped.

I have a baritone and I can get a nice low B through my rig with it, so I hope I just had a bad 7-string. For reference, I either go through a Mark IV or a Diezel Einstein and it isn't that Korn stuff that I play. I just like have a low D or C when I need one.

Anyways, I am strongly considering a BFR JP7 and just don't want to be disappointed if the notes on the low B are average.

Thanks .

No problem with that whatsoever - it's ALL there for what one might need. Every note really shines and sings on the BFR JP.

That's the reason I'm considering getting a second JP7.

The low B is present and tight on mine. They both have the D-Sonic. I have one inbound with the Crunch Lab in a month or so...I'm hoping the 7 string versions are just as good as the 6 string versions.

I don't have a BFR 7, but I've played my share and I own a standard JP7 and I can tell you that they are increcibly tight. These truly are a few steps above any 7 string on the market save MAYBE the Universe.

Thanks for the feedback. Exactly what I was hoping to hear.

Now I just have to get on Bass Central's waiting list for a BFR .

They probably have some BFR 7's in stock. Thats where I ordered my Dargie Delight II 7 from.

I also have a Dargie Delight II BFR 7 and the low B is very tight sounding with a 54 on it. I know some will disagree with me but I feel that a 54 meshes perfectly with a set of 9-42's and on this guitar I never lose any definition or tightness even though some might consider it "floppy".

I also play it with the 54 - no prob with that whatsoever.

Like Borat would say "Nice and tight!"

I put a .056 on mine. Keeps it feeling tight, too.

I saw all those nice BFR's on their website and guessed I could pick and choose. WHen I called them on Saturday, they were completely out of BFR 7's.

I was bummed at first, but glad/impressed EBMM can move a $3K+ guitar in this economy. It really says a lot about the quality and demand. They are expecting some to trickle in through March, but most are accounted for. But, I can wait for a BFR, it is one of the few guitars today that is truly a lifetime investment.

Why don't You buy Brad's (Bkrumme's) - it's in the for sale thread and is as new, but not pricewise

That would have been cool with me, but it sold this morning. If things don't pan out with this buyer, I'll let you know.
