## Description

EMG along with legendary artist Geezer Butler have collaborated to develop the GZR-P and GZR-PJ signature bass pickup sets. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bass player started working with EMG founder Rob Turner in 2011, looking to recreate the classic bass tones he had in Black Sabbath’s early days. As Geezer and Black Sabbath moved from studio to touring in 2013 the final component of getting the classic Geezer tone was in play - a passive pickup with a truly vintage tone an feel. To recapture Geezer’s early Black Sabbath tone, it meant a new EMG vintage style passive P & PJ design with a few modern touches. The all solderless P set uses Alnico V pole pieces and custom wound coils for just the right amount of punch and grit. The J (PJ set) also uses Alnico 5 poles and features two custom wound split-coils. This eliminates the noise and hum usually associated with early 70’s bass pickups and allows for more power and volume than any other standard single coil J - creating a remarkable balance between the P and the J. The result is an unmistakable early Geezer Butler bass tone with deep, tight low end that you hear on tunes like “Iron Man,” “War Pigs,” and “Paranoid,” just like 1970’s. “I never felt comfortable giving my name to any other pickups, but this time these have blown me away.” - Geezer Butler

Review: Great P-bass Pickup! - I bought this because of the solder-less process and the extra tone and volume pots and the extra jack. I have a Squier Classic Vibe P-bass, and it's a very good bass for the price, but I figured that there must be something missing, and so I was thinking of either the EMG Geezer or the SD 1/4-Pounder, and the solder-less option and extra pots and jack won me over. I don't know how the 1/4-Pounder sounds, but I know that if I got it, I would have to get extra pots to replace the mini pots, wires and jack, where this EMG Geezer pickup came with everything. It sounds excellent... It just got that extra vibe and definition that I didn't hear before over the stock pickup, even if the tone was turned down. The installation was easy, but the only thing was the shafts are solid shaft and slightly bigger, so I had to buy 2 different knobs ... no biggie. The jack is also better than stock. I am just happy happy! Recommended!
Review: Monster vintage toan and very easy install. - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect match with my ‘78 Precision, and so easy to DIY
*by C***A on July 5, 2024*

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.
