Quality pickup - interesting tone
Richard708 07.09.2014
Firstly my pickup has the classic white EMG logo (looks like an S or SA) and doesn't say HZ which will please some as it removes a bit of the 'budget' perception of the passive range.

This is a nice pickup with quite a unique tone which I'm using in neck position - think single coil bite/shimmer with thicker smoother bass and low mids with not much upper mid. Gives that typical 'hi fi' sound EMGs are known for. It is also mega quiet! Much quieter than the conventional humbucker I have in the bridge position.

After an initial trial, I considered changing it for a lace sensor but it's staying in at the moment as it is pleasing whenever I play it. It also fits in tight spaces (mine is in a top mounted carvin where very few singles will fit) but is quite tall so unlikely to be able to mount it very low - eg I couldn't use in middle position as it would interfere with picking too much.

direct replacement for bass pickup, too!
andreip 04.06.2021
Bought it as a replacement for the stock Roswell VTN-4 pickup in Harley Benton PB-50, not that it need it, but because I wanted to. Even if higher (5 mm) than stock pickup, it fitted without routing. Provided wiring kit replaced the stock pots.

I chose S4 because of humbucker rail construction and the advertised characteristics, favouring low & high ends.

It gave the PB-50 a smooth overall response, noiseless, with bright highs and well defined lows. It tends to distort at max volume.
