Description
Not every P-bass player wants the ceramic bite of a stock EMG P. The PA takes that same active platform and swaps in Alnico V magnets, giving you a rounder, warmer voice with the kind of vintage grit that suits soul, rock, and old-school R&B lines. Alnico V has a softer magnetic pull than ceramic, and paired with EMG’s short, squat coil design, it opens up the low mids without getting muddy or boomy under stage volume.
Because it’s still an active EMG circuit, you get the noise-fighting benefits that made the brand a go-to for touring bassists — hum and single-coil buzz stay out of the way, even next to lighting rigs and dirty stage power. Output stays consistent and punchy whether you’re slapping, fingerstyle plucking, or digging in with a pick.
This is a direct-fit replacement for standard Precision Bass routes, and EMG includes their solderless wiring control kit, so swapping out your old pickup doesn’t mean a soldering iron and a Saturday afternoon. Wire it up, drop it in, and you’re back to gigging with a P pickup that sounds more vintage but behaves like a modern active unit.
