Description
Since 1979, this EMG P pickup has been the go-to choice for bassists who want a tone that cuts through without losing warmth. It’s built with ceramic magnets paired with short, squat coils, a combo that gives you tight low-end punch alongside crisp high-end articulation. Whether you’re locking in a groove in the studio or holding down the bottom on a loud stage, this pickup stays quiet, present, and defined.
That low-noise output is a big reason so many working pros keep coming back to it. You get natural presence and solid note definition across the board, no matter the genre you’re playing. If you prefer a smoother top end, EMG also offers this same model with ceramic steel magnets instead.
Installation is straightforward thanks to EMG’s solderless wiring system, so you can swap this into your bass at home without needing to break out a soldering iron. Everything required for a clean install is included:
- 1 25k volume pot
- 1 25k tone pot
- 1 battery bus
- 1 stereo output jack
- 2 pair mounting screws
- 1 pickup cable
- 2 connect cables
- 1 output cable
- 1 battery cable
This ivory-finish P pickup is a proven upgrade for any bassist chasing more punch, clarity, and consistency from their instrument.
