General

Consisting of a split-coil pickup plus a single-coil element, the EMG P5J active pickup set is designed specifically for P basses with a PJ element configuration and other electric bass guitars it can match. This element set gives you versatility as a bassist by offering a wide range of sound options for your 5-string bass. The P5 element in the middle position offers you a warm sound with a powerful low-frequency response, while the LJ bass element at the bridge ensures that you hear tight mid tones back here with a dynamic, bright attack.

P5J: perfect for funk, rock and soul from Motown & Stax for your 5-string, among others

Whether you use both these bass elements separately or together, they give you countless sound options suitable for both modern and more classic styles of playing and music. With low noise, no annoying humming side noises and the resulting reliable performance, this P5J pickup set for your 5-string is perfect for genres as diverse as funk with tight slapping and solid pumping rock to even those warm, rounded sounds in Motown soul music and the slightly rougher Strax. Moreover, EMG's solderless wiring system makes it easy to install the elements yourself. Just check beforehand that both pickups fit into the body cavity of the bass guitar you want to give a quality boost.

Tips or comments about this product
  • Caution:
