EMG 40TWX 5-String X Series Ceramic/Steel Dual Mode TW Reverse Pickup w/VLPF

EMG 5 String X Series Ceramic/Steel Dual Mode TW Reverse Pickup with VLPF

The EMG 5 String X Series Ceramic/Steel Dual Mode TW Reverse Pickup is a versatile solution for bassists craving tonal flexibility. Encased in a sleek 4″ by 1.5″ soapbar black housing, this pickup offers dual modes with a unique reverse single coil mode for a distinct sound. The ceramic magnets provide a bright, clear tone, while the steel pole pieces deliver a warm, vintage touch. A push-pull pot allows for easy switching between these modes, enhancing your sound customization, and the Variable Low Pass Filter (VLPF) adds another layer of tone control by attenuating high frequencies.

This pickup is tailored for 5-string basses with narrow string spacing, ensuring a consistent response across all strings. The EMG solderless installation system simplifies the upgrade process, making it accessible for musicians to achieve professional results at home without soldering. Whether you’re aiming for a modern bass sound or a more traditional vibe, this pickup offers low noise and high dynamics for studio or stage use.

From crafting intricate basslines to powering through rhythm sections, this EMG pickup gives you the control to adapt your sound from bright and punchy to warm and mellow, all while benefiting from the advanced tone shaping capabilities of the VLPF.
