“I never felt comfortable giving my name to any other pickups, but this time these have blown me away. 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. 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 J (PJ set) also uses Alnico 5 poles and features two custom wound split-coils. Alongside Bell for this recording was a long-time collaborator of Geezer’s, Peter Howse (nicknamed ‘Pedro’ by Butler, from a character in the TV show ‘Four Feather Falls’), Howse was a founding member of the Geezer Butler Band in 1985, and has written and played in all versions of GZR/Geezer. The all solderless P set uses Alnico V pole pieces and custom wound coils for just the right amount of punch and grit. To recapture Geezer’s early Black Sabbath tone, it meant a new EMG vintage style passive P & PJ design with a few modern touches. 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. 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. EMG along with legendary artist Geezer Butler have collaborated to develop the GZR-P and GZR-PJ signature bass pickup sets. : EMG Geezer Butler Signature PJ Bass Guitar Pickup Set : Musical Instruments Musical Instruments Instrument Accessories Guitar & Bass Accessories Bass Guitar Parts Pickups & Pickup Covers 17900 FREE Returns FREE delivery Wednesday, March 22 Or fastest delivery Tuesday, March 21.
