The EMG JAX Jazz Active Bass Pickup Set is a game - changer. It's based on EMG's original J, but uses Alnico V magnets instead of ceramic and our X Series preamp. This combination produces a warm, open tone with a broad frequency range, offering a more vintage sound along with great dynamic response and feel. Bass players will enjoy natural presence, powerful lows, and an expansive midrange. With the X Series preamp on - board, this pickup set seamlessly combines passive and active tones, giving you the best of both. Whether you play fretted or fretless, these bass pickups deliver an incredibly full sound. The X series preamp boosts the dynamic range and headroom while maintaining traditional string - to - string balance. It also features an Active Tone Control (VLPF) to roll off high frequencies, like a passive tone control. You'll get a noiseless single - coil guitar pickup with a classic EMG sound.
