Using your EMG David Ellefson Signature 4 String Bass Pickup Set is a breeze. First, make sure to check the pickup measurement instructions and compare them with your existing pickups before you install it. This will ensure a proper fit. When installing, carefully follow the steps and use the included mounting screws to secure the pickups. The set comes with all the necessary cables and pots, so you can easily connect them to your bass. For maintenance, keep the pickups clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe them gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the pickups. Store your bass in a dry and cool place to prevent any moisture damage. If you have any issues with the performance, check the battery first as it powers the pickups. Replace the battery when it starts to run low to keep your bass sounding its best.
