Why no love/respect for Seymour Duncan ?
« on: June 09, 2020, 02:57:05 AM »
Considering al the rave/breathless reviews about the sound/tone/feel fo the
Pearly/Slash/Jimmy Page sigantures,the pickups of which are made by
Seymour Duncan,why are his pickups ingnored for upgrades in this forum in
favour of Throbaks/Sheps/Rolphs/Wolftones(and everyone else)? Does he
give Gibson better pickups ? Might it be because SD pickups are relatively
mass produced and cheaper ? Absolutely no connection with any maker.
Just want to know the opinion of those in the know.

I want to know why you did all of those returns in this paragraph?  You do know that you can go right across to the end of the page and then it will return automatically, yeah?  Is this some weird copy and paste from somewhere else?  Are you on some pan-forum rant regarding Seymour Duncan pickups today?  Thank you for your attention.

BKP just have this thing with feel, clarity, and responsiveness.  Seymour Duncan pickups are great but BKP are exceptional.

Did you mean to post this to this forum? You know this is the Bare Knuckle Pickups forum, right? So the discussions and recommendations are going be mostly around BKP. Can't say I've seen many threads mentioning the other brands you mention, hence the question.

It's just a copy paste that this person must have put on several forums.

That's why I didn't take this post seriously.

Might work for Seymour Duncan.

If so they need to rethink their marketing strategy, lol

You might be right, but it's pointless anyway. This forum would have a different name when it was full of SD-believers.

"Absolutely no connection with any maker."

So just an unpaid troll then?

Doesn't even mention BKP in post.  You have to wonder how many forums this troll joined that day and posted the same bullcr@p

Might possibly be this 'Stereo Shore' page that comes up when you click on the word 'review' in the post.  Might just be harvesting clicks.  Don't encourage him by clicking on it.
