EMG J5X Set Black Classic Jazz Bass Guitar Pickup

EMG J5X Set Black Classic Jazz Bass Guitar Pickup

The EMG J5X Set brings modern innovation to the classic J-style bass tone, specifically designed for 5-string players who demand clarity, punch, and extended low-end response. With EMG’s exclusive X Series preamp technology, these pickups provide increased headroom and dynamic range, allowing every nuance of your playing style to shine through. The result is a powerful, articulate sound that preserves the warmth of traditional jazz bass pickups while delivering the clean definition required by today’s players.

Crafted for versatility, the J5X pickups excel in all playing styles, from fingerstyle to slap to pick. The bridge pickup is wound and magnetically voiced to emphasize tight midrange definition, ensuring your bass cuts through in any mix. Meanwhile, the neck pickup provides deep lows with smooth, rounded highs, creating the perfect balance across the extended frequency range of a 5-string instrument. Together, they offer a full tonal spectrum with remarkable consistency.

Installation is simple and hassle-free thanks to EMG’s exclusive Solderless Install System. Whether you’re upgrading your current instrument or building from scratch, the J5X Set comes complete with everything you need to wire and mount your pickups quickly and efficiently—no soldering required. Combined with EMG’s active design, the result is a low-noise, high-performance solution that’s road-ready, studio-worthy, and built for the demands of professional musicians.
