40JX-CS

The EMG 40JX-CS is our JCSX pickup in our extended range housing. This pickup utilize ceramic magnets with steel pole pieces and our X Series preamp. This twist on jazz bass tone, gives players a much warmer sound and a smoother attack with less high end presence. The 40JX-CS is less bright than most traditional sounding J pickups and is a great choice for someone looking for a deep, rich sound. This pickup offer warm jazz bass tones with the benefits of EMG's quiet, low impedance preamp.

The X series preamp gives the pickup a more dynamic range along with increased headroom while keeping the more traditional string-to-string balance. X series pickups also come with an Active Tone Control (VLPF) designed to roll-off (attenuate) high frequencies, similar to a typical passive tone control. The result is a noiseless single coil guitar pickup with a classic EMG sound that bridges the gap between active and passive.

Manufacturer's Note: Intended for 5 string basses that have a maximum string spacing of 3.125 inches, this model is housed within a 40 extended series cover cap that is 4 inches (102mm).. Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models.

All EMG Pickups are built to order. Estimated shipping is between 7-14 business days.
