EMG Geezer Butler Signature PJ Bass Guitar Pickup Set

First these sound great, the neck P pickups are fat and grumbly, the bridge J pickup is raspy and well rounded. The J pickup is split coil and didn't pickup any hum from nearby electronics. Beware the J pickup didn't quite fit into the Squire body I was using as a donor for this build. It was ever so slightly to long, nothing a few min with the dremmell couldn't solve but you should know that this is a posibility. Also there is no foam pads for putting under the pickups but the packaging works nicely. Install was a breze, included instructions were clear and helpful.About the toan, I had my dad take a crack at it once I was done building this guitar and he couldn't get over how warm and vintage the P pickup sounded. For reference he plays a '72 fender P that he bought new. 10/10 will be buying for future builds.

Amazing sounding pickups! If you have a PJ bass and want that old school passive tone with ZERO hum, this is the set you want. I would buy again.

These were my first bass pickups ever to install and it couldn't be easier. The pick ups sound excellent as well!

Excelente pickup! Con todo lo necesario para su instalación!

I’ve used the GZR pickups on a few basses, and there’s a reason for that. Great sound, easy installation, and great value.I highly recommend this set, however, avoid ordering from SDS Audio. After waiting a week for the item to arrive, I received an opened GZR box with a completely different (active) EMG PJ set. It was clearly a customer swapping them out then returning them, but the seller should have at least checked the “returned” product before selling it as brand new.

I have installed these in two Squier basses so far. Easy to assemble and install. And I am happy with the sound. I watched the video and looked at the directions at the same time to make them a little easier to figure out. I like that the pickups and knobs just plug together.

My trusty old 1978 Precision fretless (modified early in life to a P-J) had some active EMG pick-ups when I bought it 30 years ago, but over time they were getting finicky and I was tired of changing the battery. So I decided to go passive this time and wow am I glad I chose these.I was worried that my soldering skills had gone unused for so long that I’d be struggling to get any new p-ups installed, or I’d have to pay the local repair shop to do it. But these are literally plug and play, they were so easy to install- even with my overly-cautious approach I was able to do the full swap within 30 minutes.Did I mention the sound? These are rock solid, and with tape-wound strings this bass has never sounded better, at least since I bought it. The sound is even across the 4 strings, with plenty of output. The P pickup by itself is deep and has a vintage sound, and the J by itself gives me the Jaco-y fretless pop I need keep things from getting muddy. So far my favorite mix is to dial the P back just a bit, about 55% J and 45% P - still full but with great punchiness. And the pots work flawlessly and quietly. The tone control gets a bit less use but it works great when I want to get thumpy- just roll back the treble and shake the floor.Highly recommended if you’re looking to upgrade your sound, I am loving mine and looking forward to many more years of rocking the house.

I put these in a PJ build and I think I spent more time reviewing the diagram and getting all the pieces straight that I would have if I just soldered it.I guess some people don't want to solder, I wish they had an option for a set without the quick connect.But, I can't complain about how they sound. Amazing.
