Seymour Duncan Unveils Alex Webster Signature Pickups

Seymour Duncan Alex Webster Hammer Smashed Bass Pickups

Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster has teamed up with the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop to introduce a new signature set of bass pickups. The Alex Webster Hammer Smashed Bass pickups are based on the company’s active Blackout soapbars but have been voiced to match Webster’s “aggressive attack and expressive tone”.

“As a founding member of Cannibal Corpse, Alex Webster’s monstrous abilities have been pushing bass to the extreme for decades. The bass break on ‘Hammer Smashed Face’ alone has influenced many a metalhead. So iconic is this performance that we had no choice but to name this set Hammer Smashed Bass.”

The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Alex Webster Hammer Smashed Bass pickups are available five-string basses. They are priced individually for $175 or $349 for the set.
