EMG PickUps

Grammy Award winning bassist and heavy metal icon David Ellefson has been part of the EMG family for decades, putting our pickups to the test on multi-platinum albums and world tours. In the recording studio or playing live, Ellefson relies on the consistency of his EMG’s in his 4 and 5 string basses.

His signature combination of a dual-coil (DC) pickup in the bridge and a ceramic & steel (CS) for the neck has become popular among bass players of all genres. For the first time this menacing metal combination is now paired in the DE Signature Set. Available in 4 string (3.5 inch) soapbar housing or a 5 string (4 inch) soapbar housing.

Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models.

All EMG Pickups are built to order. Estimated shipping is between 7-14 business days.
