The Thunderbird is a classic body style and EMG offers direct replacement pickups for players looking to get more from their instrument. The TBDC offers excellent frequency range and response thanks to our low noise, low-impedance internal preamp.

Using a pair of ceramic loaded parallel coils, players get an extremely versatile bass pickup that can be used reproduce the cleanest highs right down to the dirtiest growling lows. This pickup comes with EMGs solderless wiring and pots for easy installation.

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.

    The installation was easy following the directions. My Bass has a long barrel jack but I was able to reuse the stock part by just soldering the negative battery to the ring. Sound is a big improvement, active pickups are much louder when finger picking and very clear. My only complaint is I could not reuse the stock knobs because the pots are bigger so I ordered some EMG knobs. Overall I am very satisfied with the improvement in tone and enjoy playing it much more than with the stock mono tone sound.
