EMG J-X Set Bass Guitar Pickup SetWith sweeping harmonic overtones and clarity, the EMG-J pickup has characteristic jazz bass tone, but due to EMG’s custom design adds a modern broad tonal response that will add new dimensions to your bass playing. EMG’s design has a very low ratio of resistance to inductance, which increases low frequency response, while the radiused ceramic bar magnet endows the tone with tight mid-range punch and dynamic high end response, all with less noise and more signal. So whether you play fretted or fretless bass, playing live or in the studio, you’ll get an incredible full sound to get the job done.

just a lump of metal

Quality:
yeah fat(finger)

Value:
expensive for what it is

Desirability:
actually looks like a lump of metal.

increases the sustain (and uglyness of guitar)

User Reviews:
Feature:
The pinch-clamps are too much guesswork. too tight vs. not tight enough is anyones guess.

Quality:
fishman may have had a winner 15 years ago, but the technology is passe. but like all fishman stuff, the build quality is great.

Value:
there are better for less. $99 gets you a Revolution One or a K&K. these pickups are MUCH better.

Desirability:
in its day it did. i would give it a 1 except that it is still useable in some situations and it doesnt feed back at high levels.

Sound:
Nasally, and sensitive to pickup placement. just sounds boingy–all strings, no bass body tone.

Support:
email only, phonecalls get voicemail.

Overall:
i cant use it.

Quality:
Beautiful! With the active bass comes the possibility of a dead battery. This has yet to happen but I always keep a spare 9V in my case.

Value:
This is a great buy. To those intermedeate to advanced players looking to buy a bass. One idea is to buy an old/ cheaper bass and put a set of good pickups in it, like these.

Sound:
I put these pickups in my crappy Peavey passive Millennium P-Bass. I carved out a spot for the LJ pickup as well for the battery, and a hole for the extra pentometer (volume knob). The result was well worth it! These pickups made my bass sound like a good bass. I have since bought another bass but I am keeping my Peavey because of its unique quality, and sound.

DiMarzio DP149 Ultra Jazz Bass Pickup SetThe hum-canceling Ultra Jazz takes a traditional Fender Jazz Bass sound and really opens it up. Lows are deeper, highs are more percussive and the mid-range is round but not muddy. Harmonic overtones jump off the strings. It’s also quick; with instant response to either fingers or pick-style playing. There’s only one word for this combination of qualities: musical. Choose the perfectly matched Ultra Jazz pair, or try an Ultra Jazz bridge pickup with a Split P in the middle position.
