Lemmy Signature Pickups

Just got some spam about this in my email.

I am VERY curious. Hope there's a demo vid forthcoming.

My undestanding is that the "classic" Lemmy mod is a Thunderbird pickup (mudbucker?) in the neck but a stock bridge pickup. Not sure when he moved to three pickups, but it must have been before Ric made his signature bass, since those are three pickup basses and supposedly they're based on what he was using at the time. I believe the sig basses use three Ric humbuckers, so I guess this is the SD take on those pickups?

Description leaves something to be desired - does the bridge pup fit under a stock 4001/4003 bridge cover?

 

Lemmy early on used a Thunderbird pickup yes. Mudbucker is a different Gibson pickup. I wonder if the Pickguard model in the background would mount to a Thunderbird? These would look killer on a Blackbird!

 

Actually really interested in these- has anyone tried them yet?

 

I realize this thread has been silent a while but I always heard Lemmy never installed his Duncan Signiture pickups in his basses before his death. I found proof this is not true. Was looking at Lemmy pictures trying to see his pickup selector setting. Whether he mostly used neck middle or bridge. Anyway by accident I notice Lemmy's bridge pickup has pole pieces unlike the middle and neck. So it's easy to see he's using the Duncan Lemmy signiture in the bridge position only. Middle and neck is stock Rickenbacker HB 1 pickups. See for yourself he did use his signature pickups a bit afterall. The Duncan Lemmy pickups are supposed to be very similar to Rickenbacker HB-1's but with pole pieces better lined up to the string spacing on a rickenbacker
