greentext Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Anyone have any experience with the EMG Les Claypool pickup? Wanted one since they came out as I love Les Claypool but would love to hear some experiences if any. And come on that gold is outrageously good ahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) All I know is that Les Claypool found them with his metal detector in a gold digging competition with Robert Trujillo, who in the meantime had been lucky to find two silver J pickups, and then they had an epic slap battle on their respective basses, which had respectively been equipped with their respective findings...

Chris2112 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I was trying to find out what these pickups sound like today, predictably the press material just consisted of bad references to Primus song titles. I'll look for a demo instead. Seems odd that they'd release this without a bridge pickup to go with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again that didn't stop them from releasing a P/J Geezer Butler signature set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezer does have the PJ set in his signature Lakland though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
