EMG 40J

The EMG 40J is a high-quality single-coil pickup designed for 5-string bass guitars, housed in an extended series casing. Positioned closer to the bridge, this pickup delivers sweeping harmonic overtones and punch, characteristic of classic jazz bass tones. Its low ratio of resistance to inductance enhances low-end response, while the radiused ceramic bar magnet ensures a tight mid-range punch and dynamic high end. Ideal for players seeking clarity and definition, the 40J offers a broader tonal frequency range, making it perfect for both live performances and studio recordings. Installation is straightforward with EMG's solderless Quik-Connect system.
