Description
Six-string basses need pickups that can handle the extra range without turning muddy, and the EMG 45P Extended Series is built for exactly that job. Housed in the wider 45 Extended shell (4.5″ / 115mm) to match six-string spacing, this P bass-style pickup positions the treble magnet toward the neck — the layout you’ll find on basses like Spector and Yamaha. If your instrument uses a Fender-style alignment with the treble side near the bridge, EMG also offers this pickup in a reverse configuration.
Tonally, the 45P leans on ceramic magnets paired with short, squat coils to deliver crisp high-end detail, real warmth in the mids, and low-end punch that stays tight instead of flabby. It’s a combination that’s earned this pickup a following among working bassists who need presence on stage, strong dynamic response, and a quiet signal path when the volume gets loud.
Installation is straightforward thanks to EMG’s solderless system — no iron required, so you can swap it in on a bench or at the gig without much fuss.
