Ive got a 7 string, Fretless, Bariotne. My intent is to play blues and rock, but i want it to sound nice withuot distortion. I would prefer to use SD, but ill take any opinion you got. I was thinking a JB in the bridge and 59 at the neck...what do you think?
 
It's very difficult to combine active and passive pickups in the same guitar, so, uh... no EMG 707. I also recommend against the JB. It's a very harsh sounding pickup.

Pair of them would work well though. I have a pair of them in one of my 7-strings with the SPC and EXP controls. Very broad range of tones available from clean to mean.  :party07:
 
I still recommend against the JB. Try the Custom. It's like the '59 but hotter, and it should match pretty well too.
 
the custom's cleans aren't all that great - which is something he said he wanted
