Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This EMG HB Steinberger is a clever little pickup—a P-bass vibe in a humbucker package. It's brilliant for players seeking that classic thump and growl without the traditional P-bass construction. If you’re after a direct tonal replacement or a vintage-inspired growl in a more modern bass, this is worth a serious look.
