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.

Â
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.
