The EMG 40JX is our JX pickup in the Extender range housing. This pickup has classic jazz bass characteristics with a broader tonal frequency range that adds dimensions and clarity to your bass playing. 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 dynamic high end presence. The added head room and dynamic response of the X Series preamp gives players an active pickup with the feel closer to a passive. The 40JX is intended for 5 string basses and is in our Extender range housing that is 4 inch (102mm).
This model uses an Extended housing that is 4 inches (102mm), designed for five string bass.
Manufacturer's Note: 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.

Low outputInstallation couldn't be easier, took ten minutes for two pickups, loosening strings and all. After swapping, I have a superior tone but have to increase gain on my interface by about 15% to achieve the clean level of the DCX pickups I replaced, or of my 40-X PJ set in the same form factor. This could be construed somewhat improperly as "massive headroom" but I don't consider this to be a benefit.

Massive headroomI've installed a set of these into a four string Ibanez BTB bass with an 18v configuration, and it sounds absolutely fantastic. Really these pickups have transformed the bass. Massive headroom. Huge.
