Seymour Duncan Unveils the Lemmy Kilmister Signature Pickup

Santa Barbara, CA (December 26, 2014) -- The sound of Motörhead is defined by the high-output fat tone and midrange grind that Lemmy Kilmister has delivered for decades with songs like "Ace of Spades” and "Iron Fist,” combined with a fast pick attack on his Rickenbacker bass. We started with carefully analyzing the pickups in his bass and then made them even ruder - that's right, even more attack and punch - while also making sure they had plenty of clarity under heavy distortion. The results are three unique pickups, each hand-built in the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop and available in individual neck, middle or bridge models, or as a complete set. The pickups are available in either a direct mount for Lemmy Signature Basses or pickguard mount for traditional Rickenbacker basses. You can also get your choice of nickel or gold.
