An EMG Standard Since 1979
The EMG P is an essential reference in the world of active bass pickups. Introduced in 1979, it has established itself as one of the most recognizable models in the EMG range, adopted by an impressive number of bassists for its ability to cover very different registers without losing precision.
For Which Basses and Bassists?
Designed in the P format (Precision type, split-coil), this replacement pickup in Black finish targets musicians seeking a sound that is solid, clear, and versatile. It is particularly suitable for bassists who alternate between fingerstyle, pick playing, and more aggressive attacks, and who want to maintain a convincing presence in the mix, whether in rehearsal, live, or recording.
Clarity, Dynamics, and Controlled Low End
The EMG P's sonic recipe is based on ceramic magnets combined with a short coil : the result emphasizes clear articulation in the highs while retaining deep and smooth lows. This signature makes it credible on both punchy vintage tones and more modern textures, with precise attack and a consistent response across the entire range. The model is also available in other versions within the range featuring a ceramic and steel magnet configuration or the X system.
