EMG RT "Rip Tide" Gold Active Bass Pickup Set with Solderless Installation System

The EMG RT “Rip Tide” Gold Set is the signature pickup set used by legendary bassist Robert Trujillo. Known for his work with Metallica and his powerful playing style, Trujillo relies on the classic EMG J pickup tone that delivers aggressive attack, tight low end, and exceptional clarity.

This signature set features striking gold stainless steel caps that combine Trujillo’s iconic tone with a bold modern aesthetic. Designed for traditional 4-string jazz bass spacing and suitable for narrow 5-string instruments, the pickups retain the original EMG J sound that has been trusted by bass players for decades.
