Description
Robert Trujillo trusted this EMG J set long before he ever stepped on stage with Metallica, and it’s stayed his go-to voice ever since. The Riptide Set takes that proven active J-bass tone and wraps it in custom black chrome caps, so you get decades of road-tested growl and clarity with a look that’s a little more metal.
What makes this set worth a look is that the stainless steel caps aren’t just cosmetic. EMG built them to preserve the exact sound bassists have leaned on for years, so you’re not trading tone for style. You still get the tight low end, aggressive midrange bite, and cutting attack that active EMG J pickups are known for, whether you’re locking in with a double bass drum or holding down a groove that needs to punch through a wall of guitars.
Highlights of the EMG Riptide Set:
- 4-string J-style pickup set as used by Robert Trujillo
- Active EMG circuitry for a clear, punchy, low-noise signal
- Custom black chrome caps for a modern, metal-ready appearance
- Stainless steel construction designed to retain the classic EMG J tone
If you want signature-level output with road-worthy hardware and a look that stands out on a dark stage, the Riptide Set delivers exactly that.
