hamfist Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) NOW TRADED This is the flagship 40-series pickup from EMG. Dual mode. Firstly, it has the 40CSX humbucker internals. The CS bit means the ceramic and steel magnets. The X bit showing it has the upgraded high headroom pre-amp. Just a push-pull pot away is the EMG J CS noise-cancelling jazz single coil pickup. Hugely versatile. Great pickup. Pretty much as new. Comes with all the associated pots and connections from EMG, and all the packing/instructions etc. Everything you need. I'll add that, as standard, this doesn't come with the normal EMG passive tone pot but has an active VLPF pot, which I do prefer to the passive tone. It simply rolls off the highs, not affecting lower frequencies. The volume pot is a push/pull one which switches between the two modes of the pickup. I've also added decent knurled metal chrome knobs instead of the horrible cheap EMG ones. This pickup is perfect for either 4 or 5 string bass as it has blade magnets. So if your rout fits you're good to go. So, included are .... Pickup, all screws, push/pull volume pot, VPLF tone pot, battery clip, output jack and all connector cables full details at ..... [url="http://www.emgpickups.com/bass/extended-series/5-string/40twx.html"]http://www.emgpickup...ring/40twx.html[/url] Only for sale as I have converted the bass I had it in for a short while to a PJ setup ! The pickup is only about 3 months old. £55 posted to you in mainland UK or, of course, a bit cheaper if you collect from the Southampton area [url="http://www.ephotobay.com/share/emg.html"][/url] Edited November 28, 2013 by hamfist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamfist Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1383930785' post='2271010'] Is this for a 5 string? [/quote] It has blade magnets, designed to be amply long enough for a 5 string. As such there are no gaps between polepieces (as it has no polepieces !) it works perfectly with a 4 string also. If your route will fit it, it wil be I was using it for a 4 string, as the route on my bass was about the right size. EMG list it as a 5 string pickup. So, if your rout will fit it, it will be perfect for .... either !!! Edited November 9, 2013 by hamfist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Cheers, thought as much. Unfortunately the bass I was thinking of fitting into has a rout for a 4 string EMG soapbar and I don't want to mod it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 He does indeed and on most basses I'd happily let him loose but not this particular bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
