As one of the most recorded bass players of all time, Lee Sklar knows a
thing or two about sculpting the perfect bass tone. This is why he has
used the original EMG P as the foundation for his sound since the 70’s
when John Carruthers built his legendary Frankenstein Bass. Loaded with
two “reversed” EMG P pickups, the Frankenstein Bass has appeared on
thousands of recordings. Lee helped put EMG Pickups on the map when he
hit the studio scene with his new bass as his career started taking off,
impressing everyone from producers to fellow musicians with its clear
and articulate tone.
Now, nearly 50 years later, EMG has
recreated that original precision pickup made famous by the
Frankenstein bass. Not only does this model include the original raised
logo caps, but EMG tweaked the P preamp to recreate the tonal response
of that original bass and its 18-volt mod setup. This modification
results in a potent low-end presence and powerful output while
maintaining that clarity and punch that EMGs are known for.
Like all EMG products, these pickups include the solderless wiring
system for simple installation. 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
