EMG GZRP Geezer Butler P Bass Pickup

Drop these into your bass and get that classic Geezer Butler tone. With Alnico 5 magnets and a tight bottom end, these are the only pickups Geezer endorses.

EMG Pickups along with legendary artist Geezer Butler have collaborated to develop the GZR-P and GZR-PJ signature bass sets. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bass player started working with EMG founder Rob Turner in 2011 looking to find the classic bass tone 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, the rigors of a world tour.

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 5 pole pieces and custom wound coils for just the right amount of punch and grit. The result is unmistakable early Geezer Butler bass tone with deep, tight low end that you can hear on "Iron Man", "War Pigs", and "Paranoid" just like 1970's. Said Geezer, "I never felt comfortable giving my name to any other pickups, but this time these have blown me away."

I absolutely love this pick up. It totally nails that warm vintage tone from the late sixties and early seventies but with a little extra gain to drive your amp harder. Its really versital and sounds good no matter what you throw at it musically. I’ve tried it with both roundwound strings and flats, with and without a pick and no matter what you get a tight punchy low end with warm mids. Like any other EMG pickup it was super easy to install myself. One tip the instructions don’t tell is to save some of the foam from the package and place it under the pickup to get the height adjustment right otherwise you end up with a pickup that’s set way too low.
