Description
The EMG-J set takes the growl and snap you expect from a Jazz-style bass and runs it through EMG’s active circuitry for a noticeably cleaner, wider-range result. A radiused ceramic bar magnet under each coil focuses the pickup’s attention on tight midrange punch and articulate top end, while EMG’s low resistance-to-inductance ratio opens up the low end without letting it turn to mud. The payoff is a fuller, more three-dimensional voice with far less hum than a passive J-style pickup, whether you’re tracking in the studio or fighting stage volume live. Fretted or fretless, this set adapts well and keeps note definition intact even when you dig in hard.
Everything needed to wire the set is included, so this is a genuine drop-in upgrade rather than a bare pair of pickups.
- EMG Quik-Connect cables (2) for solderless-style hookup
- Prewired control set with 2 volume pots
- Master tone control
- Output jack
- Battery clip
- Adjustment screws
This listing is for the black cover cap version; white and ivory covers are also offered if you’d rather match a different pickguard or finish.
Full documentation is available directly from EMG for installation, wiring into passive/active buses, volume and tone control setup, and general power/battery tips—handy reference material whether this is your first active pickup swap or your fiftieth.
