Description
The J-shape single coils are iconic for a reason, but EMG took the recipe and rebuilt it for players who need modern output without losing that Jazz bass character. This active set keeps the sweeping harmonic quality you know from the pickup shape, then layers on a broader, punchier response thanks to EMG’s own take on the design.
Under the hood, a low resistance-to-inductance ratio pulls more low-frequency detail out of your strings than a typical passive J pickup, so your foundation stays thick even when you’re cutting through a busy mix. The radiused ceramic bar magnets tighten up the mid-range and keep the top end alive and dynamic, all while EMG’s active circuitry cuts hum and noise way down. Whether you’re running fretted or fretless, plugged into a stage rig or tracking in a studio booth, this set is built to deliver a full, confident voice night after night.
This is a complete, ready-to-wire set – not just a pair of pickups.
