EMG, in collaboration with legendary bassist Geezer Butler, developed the GZR-P and GZR-PJ signature bass pickups to recreate the classic tones of Black Sabbath. Since 2011, Butler aimed for a vintage passive pickup that captures his early sound. The P set features Alnico V pole pieces and custom wound coils for punch, while the PJ set includes split-coils to reduce noise and enhance power. The result is a distinctive Geezer Butler tone reminiscent of classics like Iron Man and War Pigs. Butler expressed his satisfaction, stating, This time these have blown me away.
