EMG PJ Set Active Bass Guitar Set, Black

Best EMG bass pickup there is.

pleased with my purchase,

I used these pickups in a custom Bass build I did. The pickups themselves cost more than the Bass kit, but I have been complimented on the sound quality that these pickups produce so definitely well worth the money. These are active pickups so they will require a 9v battery, which my Bass didn't have enough internal space for, just be aware of that. Also, if you don't have knobs for your pots you will need to buy some. I used a set of precision calipers and the pot shafts are 6.00 +/- 0.01 mm. Press fit knobs won't fit, you have to get the ones with set screws.

Pros:I went from a whimpy, thin bass tone to good solid punch.The pickups fit for the most part, my cheap guitar need a bit of trimming but cant blame that on the p/u's.The directions were fairly clear. Read and don't assume and anyone can do it.Cons:* One cable was missing and I had an addition of a cable that was not mentioned in the parts list or wiring directions. Being a professional electronic tech I was able to overcome that small obstacle by removing the wired pins from the connector and using connectors from an unused cable. A layperson would have had to wait for replacements.Added: additional battery clip for 18 volt operation and a small on/off switch.Next:Brass knobs. LOL.I was debating the active eq but for me this works great.

The best.

The improvement in the sound of the bass was awsome. The instructions for installation were clear. I totally recommend this set to improve a medium level bass!.
