The EMG LC Les Claypool Pachyderm Gold PA Precision Bass Pickup Set in Brushed Gold is a game - changer. It combines a custom EMG PA with a sleek brushed gold cover, adding a fresh look to the well - proven EMG formula and breaking away from traditional P - bass norms. Les Claypool, an EMG artist for decades, has tried numerous EMG bass products. After years of experimentation, he kept returning to the EMG PA. To lock in his unique funky tone, the original PA inspired this new signature design. This 'Pachyderm Gold' PA is a standard 4 - string P - bass pickup. It uses Alnico 5 magnets, and its short, squat coils deliver a warm, rich tone without noise. You can produce deep, powerful sounds like a pachyderm on the move. The set comes with an EMG solderless wiring kit, including all the pots and components for a classic P - Bass setup, making home installation easy. Inside the box, you'll find an exclusive solderless install system with a 25K solid shaft volume, 25K solid shaft tone, B245 pickup buss, P pickup cable set, 2 interconnect cables, output cable, battery cable, stereo output jack, and P screw set.
Using your EMG LC Les Claypool Pachyderm Gold Precision Bass Pickup Set is a breeze. First, take out all the components from the box. The solderless wiring kit makes it easy for you to install the pickup at home. Start by connecting the 25K solid shaft volume and tone controls as per the standard P - Bass configuration. Then, attach the pickup cables, interconnect cables, output cable, and battery cable properly. The stereo output jack should be securely installed, and use the P screw set to fasten the pickup in place. When using your bass, you'll notice the warm and rich tone without any unwanted noise. You can adjust the volume and tone controls to get your desired sound. For maintenance, keep your bass and the pickup clean. Wipe them with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid exposing the pickup to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you encounter any issues with the wiring or components, it's best to consult a professional bass technician.
