EMG 4-String 35CSX Ceramic/Steel Active Bass Humbucker Pickup - Red

EMG 35CSX Active Bass Humbucker Pickup – Ceramic & Steel, Expanded Dynamic Range

The EMG 35CSX is a modern humbucker designed for bass players seeking a powerful yet refined tone. Utilizing dual coils loaded with ceramic and steel magnets, this pickup delivers a warm, punchy sound with a smooth top end, ensuring ample output for any performance. The 35CSX is housed in an extended 3.5-inch (89mm) casing, making it a suitable upgrade for many bass guitars.

Incorporating EMG's X series preamp, the 35CSX offers an expanded dynamic range and increased headroom while maintaining a traditional string-to-string balance. This design provides bassists with a more expressive and responsive playing experience. Additionally, the X series pickups feature an Active Tone Control (VLPF), allowing players to attenuate high frequencies similarly to a passive tone control, resulting in a noiseless pickup that bridges the gap between active and passive sound characteristics.

Installation is straightforward with EMG's exclusive solderless wiring system, making the 35CSX an excellent choice for both seasoned musicians and those new to pickup upgrades. This user-friendly approach ensures a hassle-free setup, allowing players to focus on their music.
