EMG 45Hz BassPickup

After VW and eyeing out dingwall basses, I decided to give this pup a try making my bass into a 3 pickup bass.

Since getting the twx in europe is kinda hard if you dont want to pay 50 bucks for import, and I am not financially ready to buy 3 pups, gave this a shot. I couldn’t be happier, it is really warm and thick, I haven’t played a gibson bass but I am thinking it sounds like that, somehow it still sounds modern if that makes sense (I wired it in parallel because that’s how the other pickups are and in this bass I want that high end like).

It now makes the rest of the basses boring, it is probably because it is in the middle position, maybe closer to the neck in gets maybe too muddy, but it is great for blending because my other pups are thinner.

Really low noise too, the included switches and seem solid and the emg connectors seem quite good, but I have not tried them, I have only connected the wire whick I then cut to wire it in parallel.

Hi folks,

surprized on the whole I can recommend this pickup for any instrument that creates low frequencies like bass guitars, extended range guitars and so on ! I even tried its use in single coil mode in 9string guitars: the sound is extremely smooth, from lowest to highest tones, it can be crisp when connected directly to an onboard preamp !
Besides, actively driven it produces the most impressive sound in a bass guitar (5 to 7 strings) I heard in years !
