Description
The EMG 35JX takes the familiar JX formula and houses it in EMG’s Extender range format, giving 4-string bass players a Jazz-style pickup with more tonal territory to work with. Rather than the vintage-style single-coil bark, this one leans into a broader frequency window that opens up both ends of your low-end spectrum.
- Radiused ceramic bar magnet for tight mid punch and articulate, dynamic highs
- Low resistance-to-inductance ratio boosts low-end response without turning muddy
- 3.5" x 1.5" housing in black, built for the Extender pickup format
- VLPF active tone control included for shaping on the fly
- X Series preamp architecture adds headroom while keeping a feel closer to passive pickups
What makes the 35JX interesting isn’t just the ceramic magnet swap – it’s how EMG balanced the active circuitry to avoid that compressed, over-processed sound some active pickups fall into. You get the noise-free reliability and output consistency of an active design, but the dynamic response reacts more like a passive setup when you dig in or back off.
Fitment note: the 35JX is built for 4-string basses with a maximum string spacing of 2.625 inches, so double-check your bridge spacing before ordering.
