P-style pickup or J-style pickup - which one do you prefer? For some, the answer is clear-cut, while others wish that they could enjoy the best of both worlds. If you're the latter, then you might want to consider going with a set of PJ bass pickups. Combining the bite of a split-coil with the bark of a straight single-coil, PJ Bass pickups are ideal for any wailer who wants a unique bass tone that's all their own. In this section you'll discover that the top pickup manufacturers on the market specialize in their own PJ bass pickups, including DiMarzio, EMG, Basslines and more.

If you're new to PJ Bass pickups and aren't sure where to begin, you can always play it safe with the more popular sets. For example, check out the DiMarzio DP126 P+J Neck and Bridge Bass Pickup Set. What you have here is the hum-canceling DiMarzio Model P 2-piece pickup for a big punchy sound, and a bridge position DiMarzio Model J pickup for when you want a bright bottom-end attack. Together, these pickups are just what you need to breathe new life into your bass performance.

This catalog also includes PJ bass pickup sets that are made in collaboration with a legend. The EMG Geezer Butler Signature PJ Bass Pickup Set was developed to recapture the early Black Sabbath tone that has influenced millions. As Geezer himself stated, "I never felt comfortable giving my name to any other pickups, but this time these have blown me away." If you're a fan of classics like "Iron Man", "War Pigs" and "Paranoid", then you're about to be blown away by these pickups too.

Along with the sets mentioned, be sure to take a closer look at the rest of your options. Whether you're customizing your dream bass or simply replacing your stock pickups, you'll have no problem finding a PJ bass pickup set in this selection that gives you the bass tone you've always had in mind.
