99mustang Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 High all, I have a Squier Pbass and have noticed that when the strings touch the magnets on the pups, there is a loud click. Been told this is the Fender Clack. Would swapping out the OE pups for Seymour Duncan SP1's get rid of the click? Cheers all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 quite possibly and if not at least it'll probabaly sound 10x better! (ive got quarter pounder P's and a Jazz pup in my P/J) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play more lightly or lower your pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Nope. If you have exposed magnets on any pickup and tap a piece of steel against it you're gonna get a click. You really need to drop the pickup height if you want to stop it from happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzneck Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Suggest you lower the pickup and paint some clear nail varnish over the magnet tops. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
