The EMG 40J is our original J pickup in a extended series housing for 5 string bass. This pickup has its coil located in the back of the housing - closer to the bridge - which gives it sweeping harmonic overtones and punch. This quiet pickup has classic jazz bass characteristics with a broader tonal frequency range that adds dimensions and clarity.
EMG's design has a very low ratio of resistance to inductance, which increases the low end response, while the radiused ceramic bar magnet ensures the tone keeps a tight mid-range punch with a dynamic high end.
This pickup uses a housing that is 4 inches (102mm) and includes EMG's solderless wiring and pots. 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.

Awesome Skull-Crushing Sound & Easy No-Mod's InstallationI bought a 40P5, 40J and a BQS System to upgrade my 1991 Japanese-made Ibanez 5-string bass. I replaced the original factory electronics and soapbar humbucker pickups. All the EMG components fit perfectly with no mods, though I did use the existing output connector because the one provided was too short. My old Ibanez is again my favorite bass. The sound and quality of the P/J pickup combo is wonderful, and with the BQS tone controls adjusted and the volume ramped up the sound is absolutely skull-crushing in a good way!! I am so very pleased and highly recommend these products.

Beautiful sound!I love these pickups. I swapped the original MFD pickups from my G&L Tribute L2500 for a pair of these with the BQS system, and it sounds so good that I just cant put my bass down. Plus installing them was a breeze. Nice work EMG!!!
