## Overview

The EMG Geezer Butler Signature P Bass Guitar Pickup Set is a premium passive pickup system designed in collaboration with the legendary Black Sabbath bassist. Featuring Alnico V pole pieces and custom wound coils, it delivers vintage punch, deep lows, and gritty mids with noise-cancelling split-coil technology. Its solderless install system ensures quick, hassle-free upgrades, making it the ultimate choice for bassists seeking iconic 70s tone with modern reliability.

## 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: If you want to sound like Black Sabbath here you go - I have three sets of geezer butlers in my squire precision bases, they're 100% upgrade from the stock pickups good quality sound good bottom end with a good mid punch the highs are there too but they're nice and warm they're not pinchy, great value for the money,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did not disappint and so easy to install my dog could have done it for me.
*by W***E on June 4, 2025*

Super easy install. I can solder but these are so simple anybody can install it. I needed new pots too so that it comes with everything was wonderful. Good tone pot too as it doesn't just fall off. Very gradual. Good P-bass sound with just a little bit of grit. I have these set up with a set of GHS brite flats and absolutely love it. Velvety smooth instead of muted tones when cranked down or just wonderful sound with a little bit of bite turned up.
