EMG EMG-J-SET-X X Series Bass Pickup The EMG-X Series of active pickups was conceived and developed with the goal of creating a series of pickups with an open and organic tone while retaining the traditional edge EMG actives are known for. This new generation of active pickup offers increased headroom and body, giving the voicing a more passive feel with crunchy mids and tight bottom end. (read more...)

EMG-JAX X-series Bass Pickup The JA is a new bass pickup option based on one of our originals, the J. This new addition differs in that it uses Alnico V magnets instead of the ceramic magnets of the original. Because the JA utilizes Alnico V magnets coupled with short, squat coils, the tone is endowed with openness and warmth for a more vintage tone, all with less noise and more signal. We have no doubt that the new JA, with its natural presence, powerful lows, expansive midrange, and superior definition, will be as successful as its predecessor. The X series provide increased headroom giving the voicing an organic and open tone while still maintaining the clarity and response that EMG's are renowned for. X's are best described as bridging the gap between passive and active tone. (read more...)	Regular Price: $229.99 On Sale For: $179.00	CALL TO ORDER

EMG-J-SET EMG-J Set Bass Pickups Sweeping harmonic overtones and clarity, the EMG-J has a full bodied sound that adds new dimensions to your bass playing. Whether you play fretted or fretless bass, you'll get incredible sound yet retain that traditional tone. The original Fender Jazz Bass* pickup is a long, tall, thin pickup. That's why it has such a distinctive tone. The winding length of the coil is about 6 inches per turn resulting in a pickup that has a high DC resistance compared to its inductance. Its aperture is small for long wavelengths so there's less low frequency punch and an accentuated mid-range howl. The EMG-J Pickups on the other hand, have a very low ratio of resistance to inductance that increases the low frequency response yet the EMG-J still maintains the narrow aperture for that typical Jazz Bass tone. Instead of the side by side Pole pieces the EMG-J uses a single-pole crescent shaped magnetic field to complement the radiused fingerboard. The result is a balanced output across the strings, and a linear attack from note to note. In addition to its standard four string capability, the EMG-J allows adaptation to use five strings. Recommended maximum overall string width, however, is 2.75 inches (70 mm). The EMG-J comes complete with a prewired harness including dual volume controls, master tone control, output jack, battery clip and pickup adjustment screws. Also available as a separate unit is the EMG-LJ, which is the longer of the two pickups in the EMG-J Set and is usually located in the bridge position. (read more...)
