TheGreek Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Easy to differentiate - the top one is actually a Quarter Pounder with cheese. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killed_by_Death Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 They got their name from the 1/4" pole pieces, I'd never noticed there's no ER on the end, because everyone puts it there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 They are both quarter pounders. The burger cos its based, or was, on a quarter pound of meat. The pickups for obvious reasons. They can both be termed quarter pounders as if you have one of either you are unlikely to say "I have a quarter pound". The answer would be, a quarter pound what?

Killed_by_Death Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) I'm more pedantic than most, which has caused me a load of grief as I get older & more obsessive-compulsive, but this one isn't as bad as guitar-players constantly referring to their vibrato bridges as tremolos, or bass-players saying 'steel' when they are referring to STAINLESS steel strings. All strings designed for magnetic pickups are steel, but not all are stainless. Edited February 16, 2021 by Killed_by_Death spelling: stainless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I have a Precision bass guitar with a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickup. I have a P bass with a Quarter Pounder. One of the above makes you sound like a tool, you choose which one. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 When I bought my Quarter Pound pickup there was a good second hand one for sale. The bloke said he only wanted a tenner for it, so I told him I didn't understand what he meant and bought a new one instead. 😉 Another thought as pedantry runs strong in this thread, is it 'a Precision pickup', or 'a set/pair of Precision pickups', as there's two of them?
