joeystrange Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I bought a new bass at the beginning of the year. Didn’t like the pickups so I changed them for a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder, which I’ve used in various basses for 15+ years. The first set I bought had ungrounded pole pieces so I sent them back and got a replacement from a different supplier. Exact same issue so got a third set from another supplier. Same issue again. At this point the guy fitting them decided to ground them himself and everything was good. Last week the treble coil stopped working completely. Rather than get another SD I decided to go for something else instead. Talking to the tech he realised that the last couple of years he’s has a bunch of faulty Seymour pickups (across both guitar and bass) but none before that. Has anyone else had any issues recently or does anyone know if they moved production sites or anything like that? Regardless I don’t think I’ll be buying them again.

mybass Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 You should email direct to Seymour D in America....companies need feedback direct to them especially if you are buying new pickups with continued faults. They may even, if you are lucky, ask for the pickups to be sent to them (via their UK distributor hopefully) and should replace them for you.
