The EMG P-J Bass Pickup Set is a dynamic duo ready to enhance your bass playing journey. Incorporating the power of EMG-P and the versatility of a single EMG-LJ unit, this pickup set delivers a comprehensive assembly that offers unprecedented flexibility in sound dimensions. From the resonating low register power of the EMG-P to the full midrange and extended high frequency response of the EMG-LJ, this set covers an extensive spectrum of tones. Whether you're slapping out funky rhythms or cruising along smooth Motown grooves, the EMG P-J set ensures your sound stands apart.

Central to the EMG-P is its unique design featuring short, squat coils with low resistance and high inductance, creating about twice as much low end as a standard passive pickup. Coupled with ceramic magnets, the result is a natural presence, powerful lows, punchy midrange, and superior definition. Adding steel poles further enhances the composite bass sound, infusing warmth and midrange for a more natural tone. The EMG-LJ, on the other hand, delivers a full-bodied sound, extending the low frequency response while maintaining the narrow aperture for that typical jazz bass tone.
