Description
Since 1979, the EMG P has been the benchmark active pickup for P-Bass style instruments, and it’s easy to hear why. Ceramic magnets paired with short, squat coils give this pickup a distinctive voice: crisp, brilliant top-end detail sitting right alongside deep, thumping low-end punch. It’s a combination that flatters everything from vintage-inspired rock and funk to modern studio bass work, with the kind of clarity and note definition that lets every finger-picked or slapped note come through clean.
Active electronics mean ultra-low noise floor and a hot, consistent output regardless of stage volume or studio gain staging u2014 no hum, no mud, just direct signal presence. If you want a slightly softer high-end roll-off, EMG also offers this design with ceramic steel magnets, but this Ivory-finished version sticks with the classic ceramic formula players have relied on for decades.
Installation is refreshingly painless thanks to EMG’s Solderless Install System, so you can swap out your stock pickup without dragging out an iron. The package includes:
- 1x 25k volume pot
- 1x 25k tone pot
- 1x battery bus
- 1x stereo output jack
- 2 pairs of mounting screws
- 1x pickup cable
- 2x connect cables
- 1x output cable

Whether you’re chasing that classic P-Bass growl or need a low-noise workhorse for the studio, this pickup covers the ground reliably, night after night.
