EMG 40TW 5-String Electric Bass Pickup
- Helsinki Store Ask for availability
- Warehouse Ask for availability
EMG 40TW is two independent pickups: A single coil and a humbucker along with EMG's renowned preamp give players more options in one pickup. The single-coil mode is EMG's JCS pickup built with ceramic and steel magnets for a rich, warm tone. The humbucker mode is EMG's popular CS (ceramic steel) dual-coil for a big, aggressive sound with a pronounced mid-range. A push/pull volume (or tone) pot allows you to change from the rich clarity of a J pickup sound to the fatness of the CS humbucker. This five string bass pickup uses a 40 Extended housing that is 4 inches (102mm).
When using two of TW Pickups in the same instrument it is not recommended that EMG BT or BQ Systems be used. Each pickup requires a push/pull pot for switching from single coil to humbucker, so the balance control included with the system can't be installed. If you want to use the balance control, consider switching single/dual coil outputs with a DPDT toggle switch(s) instead.
Manufacturer's Note: Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models.
