EMG JX 5-String Ceramic Jazz Bass Pickup with Active Tone Control - Black

EMG JX 5-String Ceramic Jazz Bass Pickup with Active Tone Control

The EMG JX Set brings classic jazz bass tone into the modern era, enhancing the iconic sound with the dynamic response and headroom of the X Series preamp. Designed to provide musicians with a broader tonal frequency range, this pickup adds clarity and dimension to your bass playing, whether you're performing live or recording in the studio. The pickup utilizes a radiused ceramic bar magnet which ensures a tight mid-range punch and a dynamic high-end response, catering to both fretted and fretless bass players. The low ratio of resistance to inductance in the EMG JX Set boosts the low-end response, making every note you play resonate with depth and richness.

One of the key features of the JX Set is its active preamp, which not only offers increased headroom but maintains traditional string-to-string balance, ensuring your bass sound is consistent across all strings. The included Active Tone Control (VLPF) allows you to fine-tune your sound by attenuating high frequencies, much like a passive tone control but with more precision. This set is perfect for bassists looking to achieve a full, clear sound that cuts through any mix without losing the warmth and character of the jazz bass.

Installation is made straightforward with EMG's exclusive Solderless Install System, which reduces setup time and eliminates the need for soldering, making it accessible for musicians of all skill levels. This setup ensures your bass remains in top condition with minimal effort, providing a seamless integration into your instrument for superior sound quality and performance.
