Description
Some pickups get bright and brittle when you dig in — the EMG 35CS isn’t one of them. This active humbucker pairs ceramic magnets with steel pole pieces across dual coils, giving you a tone that stays warm and controlled up top while the punch and output stay strong underneath. It’s a great pick for bassists who want a modern, big humbucker sound without the ice-pick treble that can come with high-output ceramic pickups.
- Active soapbar humbucker for 4-string bass
- Ceramic magnets with steel pole pieces on both coils
- Onboard EMG preamp for high output and dead-quiet performance at rest
- Extended housing measuring 3.5 inches (89mm)
- Includes EMG’s solderless wiring for a straightforward home install
Because it’s active, this pickup runs quiet even when you’re not playing — no annoying hiss or hum eating into your dynamics on stage. The extended 3.5-inch housing means it’s built for basses routed for that longer soapbar footprint, so check your cavity before you order. And with EMG’s solderless system in the box, you don’t need to be a wiring expert to get it installed and gigging.
If your current pickup gets harsh when you push the amp, or you just want more low-end authority with a smoother top end, the EMG 35CS is worth a serious look.
