EMG 35TW Reverse Single Coil Bass Pickup
The EMG 35TW is an incredibly versatile bass pickup. Housed in a standard 3.5' soapbar, it offers two amazing tonal options. With ceramic and steel magnets, you can effortlessly switch between a warm single - coil sound perfect for a wide range of music and a powerful humbucker tone with a pronounced mid - range. EMG's famous preamp circuit ensures stable performance in both modes.
In single - coil mode, it acts like a JCS pickup, delivering a rich, warm tone that suits various musical styles. Switch to humbucker mode, and it becomes EMG's well - loved CS dual - coil, producing a big, aggressive sound. This dual - mode feature allows bassists to easily adapt to different genres and playing techniques.
The included push/pull pot makes it a breeze to switch between single - coil and humbucker modes. You can adjust your tone on the fly during performances or recording sessions without extra equipment, getting your desired sound quickly and efficiently.
