40JCSX

The EMG 40JCSX is our JCSX pickup in our extended range soapbar 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 40JCSX 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.
