Product Description
The EMG Robert Trujillo Rip Tide RT Signature Pickup Set in Gold takes the classic EMG J sound that has powered Trujillo’s career and wraps it in a striking stainless steel cap with a luxurious gold finish. Voiced for tight lows, articulate mids and a crisp, controlled top end, this active J set delivers the punch and definition needed for modern metal while staying true to the tone that has been used on countless records.
Designed for traditional 4 string Jazz Bass spacing and suitable for many narrow 5 string instruments, the RT set drops into your existing routes and comes complete with EMG’s solderless wiring system for a straightforward volume, volume, tone configuration. If you want studio ready clarity, huge low end authority and a bold, stage ready look inspired by one of metal’s most iconic bassists, this set is built for you.
Signature Robert Trujillo Tone
Robert Trujillo has relied on EMG J pickups since before joining Metallica, and the Rip Tide RT set preserves that same trusted voice. You get the familiar EMG J character with fast attack, tight low end and focused mids that cut through dense mixes, making it ideal for heavy rock and metal as well as precise, modern clean tones.
Stainless Steel Gold Caps
The custom stainless steel caps with a gold finish give these pickups a distinctive, high end aesthetic without altering their proven sound. You retain the classic EMG J response that has been an industry standard for decades, while your bass takes on a bold visual identity that stands out under stage lights and in the studio.
Solderless Volume, Volume, Tone Harness
Included with the RT set is EMG’s exclusive solderless wiring system for a traditional volume, volume, tone layout. With pre wired pots, connectors and cables, installation is clean and efficient, letting you upgrade your bass without needing a soldering iron and making future swaps or adjustments far easier.
Designed for Jazz Bass Spacing
The RT pickups are built for standard 4 string Jazz Bass spacing and can also suit many narrow 5 string instruments. This makes them a practical upgrade option for a wide range of basses that follow classic J style dimensions, giving you signature active performance in a familiar footprint. Always check EMG’s measurement guide to confirm compatibility with your instrument.
