EMG 35P4X Extended Series Soapbar P Bass Pickup - Black

The EMG 35P4X is a P bass pickup in an Extended range housing with the treble magnet closer to the neck (like a Spector or Yamaha bass). The EMG 35P4X covers a wide sonic palette of classic and modern bass sounds. Because the 35P4X utilizes ceramic magnets coupled with short, squat coils, the tone has brilliant high-end articulation, warmth, and incredible low end punch. With the EMG X preamp on-board, you get even greater dynamic control and touch sensitivity, much like a passive pickup. Utilizing EMG's solderless wiring, this pickup is easy to install at home.

The X series preamp gives the pickup a more dynamic range along with increased headroom while keeping the more traditional string-to-string balance. X series pickups also come with an Active Tone Control (VLPF) designed to roll-off (attenuate) high frequencies, similar to a typical passive tone control. The result is a noiseless single coil guitar pickup with a classic EMG sound that bridges the gap between active and passive.

Manufacturer's Note: Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models. This pickup uses a 35 Extended housing that is 3.5 inches (89mm).
