Mabrothrax Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I have an old unloved bass in the corner that I never play and may brutalize in the near future. That said, it sports the following that I wish to sell or trade - one set of black EMG P5J pickups - the ones specifically for 5 string bass - hooked up to a BTC system (volume, blend, stacked bass & treble), wired to two battery clips for 18v max headroom. The covers are a little worn, but it's all in good working condition. This stuff costs around £200 new so I'm looking for £120 ono. Will also consider a trade for a nice Alnico MM humbcuker (or two!) such as a nordstrand mm4.2 or seymour duncan smb-4a etc Pics up later...
Lorne Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Are you sure it's a BTC system, and not a BQC System? Pics? Is the pre-amp available without the pick ups? *If it is indeed a BQC*
Mabrothrax Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Nope, it's a BTC. Stacked bass and treble, volume, blend. Sorry. Would prefer to sell them as a unit. Pics soon... having mild family crisis as the wife has just returned home with a cast on her hand Edited August 13, 2012 by Mabrothrax

ead Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Are these the active p/ups - sorry if it's a stupid question, not that familiar with EMG gear and some websites are banned at work. I think it's just dawned on me that this is a P/J set when I'm after a J/J setup Edited August 13, 2012 by ead

Mabrothrax Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Still up for grabs, anyone? Happy to trade also for some sexy (alnico?) P and MM pickups. Edited August 22, 2012 by Mabrothrax
