The EMG 40DCX is an amazing active bass pickup designed for bass players who want to stand out in a loud mix. It's a humbucker with a modern and powerful sound. The two coils with ceramic bar magnets offer punch, clarity, a crisp top - end, and high output. Thanks to the on - board X Series preamp, it has great dynamic response and touch sensitivity. It feels like a passive pickup while still having the wide sonic range of an active one. This model has an extended 4 - inch (102mm) housing, ideal for five - string basses. And with EMG's solderless wiring, you can easily install it on your own. The package includes EMG's exclusive solderless install system, such as a 25K volume pot, a 25K active tone pot (VLPF), a battery bus, a stereo output jack, a pair of mounting screws, a pickup cable, two connect cables, an output cable, and a battery cable.
Using your EMG 40DCX 5 - String Soapbar Active Bass Pickup is easy. First, use the included solderless wiring system to install it on your five - string bass. Make sure all the cables are properly connected according to the package instructions. Once installed, you can adjust the 25K volume pot to control the loudness of your bass sound and the 25K active tone pot (VLPF) to shape the tone. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pickup clean by gently wiping it with a soft cloth. Check the battery regularly and replace it when the power gets low. Also, be careful when handling the cables to avoid any damage. And if you have any problems during use, refer to the package instructions or contact EMG's customer service.
