Seymour Duncan - Signature Lemmy Kilmister Set Manche / Chevalet Nickel

Lemmy Kilmister's signature sound isn't the result of an effect or a setting - it's the very nature of his pickups. This neck and bridge set, designed by Seymour Duncan on the basis of an in-depth study of the Motörhead bassist's original pickups, captures that inimitable signature: a clean, percussive attack, an immediate punch that cuts through the mix, and clarity preserved under high saturation, where most pickups drown in distortion.
It's handcrafted, entirely by hand, which translates into consistent windings and a homogeneous magnetic response throughout the dynamic range. The direct nickel mounting ensures reliable mechanical strength and neutral coupling, with no parasitic coloration due to the mounting. The passive electronics preserve the entire raw signal: no batteries, no preamplifiers, just the direct transduction of the string into an electric current.
Designed for 4-string bass, this set is at its best in heavy rock, hard rock and saturated tones at high volume. Its compatibility with the Rickenbacker 4001 and 4003 pickguards - Lemmy's instruments of choice - makes it a no-compromise set-up for anyone looking to recapture the Motörhead sound at source.
