Pickups
Fodera / Duncan Dual Coil
Designed in collaboration with Seymour Duncan, our passive Dual Coil pickups were designed to provide a punchy and focused tone with a natural and smooth upper midrange. Compared to an active soapbar style pickup, the tone is warmer and more organic. Wired in parallel, these pickups offer a noise-free single coil sound with added body and weight yet come with the added flexibility of full single-coil operation providing the snap, warmth, and mid-range punch of classic single-coil Jazz Bass pickups.
Â
JJ Pickups
Available in both single coil and hum-cancelling versions, these pickups are a a period correct reproduction of the originals. Warmth and mid-range punch combine to keep the pickups vintage integrity intact while also providing a clear and smooth top end. Note: Single Coil options are of opposite polarity and wind making them hum-cancelling when both pickups are on.
Â
P Pickup
This P pickup is designed around the original 50's design delivering a warm and woody tone, with a slightly softer treble response. You will hear all of the familiar body and depth of a P-Bass, but a clear and smooth top end to dial in classic tones. This pickup is available to combine with our J pickup for a passive PJ set.
Â
PJ Pickup Set
The EMG PJ set, most notably used by Victor Wooten, is active and modern sounding. The P-pickup delivers a punchy tight low end, while the hum-cancelling J-pickup provides a focused mid-range with articulate high end response. Paired with our preamp, they can accommodate contemporary and traditional playing styles.JJ Pickup Set
The EMG JJ set has classic jazz bass characteristics with a more modern and articulate sound compared to passive sets. They feature ceramic bar magnets which offer a tight mid-range punch and articulate high end. These pickups are hum-cancelling and are active.Â
EMG 40 PJ & JJ Sets
For 5 and 6 string instruments we offer proprietary versions of EMG's 40 series featuring PJ or JJ pickup configurations in a soapbar-style casing. The PJ set is a true PJ configuration and not the more commonly used reverse-style P. Tonally, they are identical to the standard PJ and JJ sets. These pickups are hum-cancelling and are active.Â
AG 4P-60
This P pickup is noted for its balanced and round overall tone. It captures the vintage tone of 60s era p-pickups, but features an even string-to-string response that gives just the right balance of lows, mids, and highs.

DCB Pickups
DCB pickups feature dual ceramic bar magnets that provide a dynamic and responsive attack, punchy midrange, and articulate high end. These soapbar style pickups are available for 4, 5, and 6 string instruments and are fully passive. These pickups cannot be coil split.
