    EMG Pickups along with legendary artist Geezer Butler have collaborated to develop the GZR-P and GZR-PJ signature bass sets. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bass player started working with EMG founder Rob Turner in 2011 looking to find the classic bass tone he had in Black Sabbath’s early days. As Geezer and Black Sabbath moved from studio to touring in 2013 the final component of getting the classic Geezer tone was in play, the rigors of a world tour.

    To recapture Geezer’s early Black Sabbath tone, it meant a new EMG vintage style passive P and PJ design with a few modern touches. The all solderless P set uses Alnico 5 pole pieces and custom wound coils for just the right amount of punch and grit. The J (PJ set) also uses Alnico 5 poles and features two custom wound split-coils that both eliminate the noise and hum usually associated with early 70’s bass pickups and allow for more power and volume than any other standard single coil J giving this set remarkable balance between the P & J. The result is unmistakable early Geezer Butler bass tone with deep, tight low end that you can hear on “Iron Man”, “War Pigs”, and “Paranoid” just like 1970’s. Said Geezer, “I never felt comfortable giving my name to any other pickups, but this time these have blown me away.”

    I do new bass builds.

    I do new bass builds. For the same price as most highline pickups, you get matching solderless electronics. These pickups sound great. A definite step up over any OEM pickup. Highly recomended.

    This is a pretty gnarly

    This is a pretty gnarly set of pickups. They have a great mid range punch and a solid low end growl. I have been enjoying them very much.

    Nice upgrade

    I loaded these into my Squier Bass. It was a nice upgrade from the stock pickups. EMG's are easy to install and sound really good.

    Offensively Simple and Insanely Powerful

    I’ll be honest, I didn’t like these pickups at first, because I’ve mostly played active or Jazz type basses. What changed? Sounds better by raising the pickup height by cutting up the foam from the Box packaging into small squares as a DIY spring. All I do now is adjust the pickup height with the sc...
