Designed for players who want the warmth and character of traditional pickups without unwanted noise, this PJ configuration offers versatility across a wide range of styles.

Combining a punchy P-style pickup with a clear and balanced J-style pickup, the GZR PJ set provides deep lows, strong mids and articulate highs.

Vintage Tone with Modern Clarity

The GZR PJ set captures the feel and response of early bass tones while eliminating the noise and hum often associated with vintage pickups.

• Deep, tight low-end response
• Punchy and defined midrange
• Clear, balanced high frequencies

This makes it ideal for rock, blues and classic bass styles, while still offering the clarity needed for modern playing.

This combination gives you a wide tonal range suitable for both live and studio use.
