EMG 35P4X 4-String Ceramic/Steel Humbucker Bass Pickup with EMG X Preamp - Black

EMG 35P4X 4-String Ceramic/Steel Humbucker Bass Pickup with EMG X Preamp

The EMG 35P4X is a powerful and versatile 4-string bass pickup, engineered to deliver the perfect balance of warmth, clarity, and punch. Designed in an extended range housing, this humbucker-style pickup features a unique P-style coil configuration with the treble magnet positioned closer to the neck—similar to classic Spector and Yamaha bass designs. This setup ensures a dynamic and responsive tone that excels in both fingerstyle and slap techniques.

Built with ceramic magnets and short, squat coils, the 35P4X enhances high-end articulation while maintaining a strong low-end presence and smooth mids. What truly sets this pickup apart is the EMG X preamp, which provides greater headroom, increased dynamic response, and a more open, natural sound—mirroring the feel of a passive pickup while retaining the advantages of active electronics.

Installation is quick and hassle-free thanks to EMG's exclusive solderless wiring system, eliminating the need for complex soldering. Whether you're upgrading your bass or looking for a pickup that can handle a variety of genres with ease, the EMG 35P4X is a premium choice for any bassist.
