EMG 40J black

Product information "EMG 40J black"

When it comes to active pickups in electric guitars, only one name comes to mind: EMG. It's a different story with basses, active pickups are just as recognised as their passive counterparts and there is therefore a certain variety of manufacturers. One of the first was of course EMG. Like so many other pickup manufacturers, EMG started out in the mid-70s in my parents' garage. The first companies operated under the names Dirtywork Studios and Overlend, until EMG Inc. was finally founded in 1983. And for those who don't know - and that's most people - EMG stands for Electro - Magnetic Generator.

The EMG - 40J uses a single coil design with a slightly weaker bass but a more pronounced mid-range. Nevertheless, it retains the classic jazz bass character. It is supplied in a 102mm oversized housing.

EMG fans appreciate the neutrality of these pickups - the bass, which is equipped with EMG pickups never loses its own basic sound. The EMG's come fully wired including socket and battery terminal.

About EMG

EMG - “the ultimate benchmark” when it comes to pickups. These are pickups with an integrated preamp that, thanks to low impedance, allow long cable runs without signal loss. The construction‑related low noise floor is particularly appreciated when connecting directly to mixing consoles, wireless transmitters or for home recording. With the specially developed Quik‑Connect plug system included in the delivery, it's possible to install EMG pickups easily and hassle‑free without a soldering iron or specialised knowledge.
