Product Description
The EMG DW Doug Wimbish PJ Set is a faithful recreation of the original EMG PJ pickups that have powered Doug’s iconic tone since the early 1980s. Previously only available in his signature Spector bass, this set captures the punch, clarity and authority that have made his sound a go to for rock, soul, R&B and beyond. If you want that classic active PJ voice with a genuine vintage EMG flavour, this is the set to drop into your favourite bass.
Using Doug’s own long serving EMG PJ Set as the reference, EMG meticulously matched the sound of his 80s Spector to deliver the same tight low end, articulate mids and crisp top that cut through any mix. Finished with the original EMG logo for an authentic period correct look, the DW PJ Set is as much a nod to EMG’s heritage as it is a modern workhorse for today’s players. With EMG’s solderless wiring system included, installation is quick and clean so you can get straight to playing.
Doug Wimbish Signature Tone
Doug Wimbish has relied on his EMG PJ loaded Spector basses for decades, from stadium stages to high pressure studio sessions. By basing this set on Doug’s actual pickups, EMG have bottled the same powerful, versatile tone that underpins his legendary discography. Expect a solid, controlled low end, focused mids and enough bite on top to stay present in dense arrangements, whether you are playing hard rock, funk, soul or R&B.
Authentic 80s EMG PJ Recreation
The DW PJ Set is not just inspired by the past, it is built to sound like it. EMG listened closely to Doug’s original 80s PJ Set in his Spector bass and recreated that nostalgic character that bassists fell in love with. The result is a set that feels familiar under the fingers, with the fast response and clarity you expect from EMG, but with a distinctly vintage EMG personality that sits perfectly in classic and modern productions alike.
Original EMG Logo Aesthetic
To complete the throwback vibe, the DW PJ Set features the original EMG logo, matching the look of Doug’s long serving pickups. This subtle visual detail ties the whole package together, giving your bass a cool, period correct aesthetic that fans of classic EMG equipped instruments will immediately recognise.
Solderless Installation
Like all EMG pickups, the DW PJ Set includes EMG’s solderless wiring system for straightforward installation. Plug in the included connectors, follow the supplied instructions and you are ready to go without any soldering. EMG also advise checking the pickup measurements before purchasing so you can compare your existing pickups with EMG models and ensure the correct fit, particularly on Spector PJ basses where a short Jazz pickup is often used in the bridge position.
