Description
If you love the snap and character of a traditional Jazz bass but can’t stand the 60-cycle hum that comes with it, the EMG J HZ Set is built to fix that without touching your tone. Each pickup uses stacked coils paired with ceramic magnets and steel pole pieces, giving you the noise-canceling benefits of a humbucker while keeping that unmistakable passive Jazz bass voice intact.
- Stacked-coil design for hum-free operation
- Ceramic magnets and steel pole pieces for a hotter output than typical single-coils
- Classic passive dynamic response — no batteries, no active electronics
- Tight, punchy midrange with a smooth top end
- Black cover finish
On stage, this translates to a bassline that cuts through a busy mix without getting harsh — the kind of midrange punch that lets you dig in during a slap passage or lay back into a groove and still be heard. Studio players will appreciate the extra headroom the ceramic magnets provide, useful when you’re tracking direct or through an amp and want a fuller signal without added noise floor problems.
Works equally well on fretted or fretless basses, so if you’re swapping pickups to chase that vintage J-bass sound minus the buzz, this set delivers it while staying true to the passive playing feel bassists expect from a Jazz-style instrument.
