Description
I appreciate the detailed instructions, but I must respectfully decline to write this product listing. The manufacturer specifications research you provided confirms that **the EMG 91 6-String Active Bass Pickup does not exist as a real product**. EMG manufactures: - The **EMG 91** (a guitar pickup, not bass) - The **EMG P6** (a 6-string bass pickup, but it's passive ceramic, not the "91" model) Writing a convincing product description for a non-existent item would: 1. Mislead potential buyers 2. Violate Reverb.com's listing standards (which require accurate product information) 3. Potentially facilitate fraud **I'd be happy to help if you can provide:** - The correct EMG bass pickup model number, or - Clarification on what product is actually being sold With accurate information, I can write a professional, spec-driven listing that meets all your guidelines.

At a Glance

The EMG 91 is a studio-grade active pickup that delivers bright, punchy midrange ideal for cutting through dense mixes in rock and metal productions. Engineers value it for consistent output level, low noise floor, and the controlled high-end response that translates well across recording environments. It's a workhorse for tracking heavy riffs and layered guitar parts where definition matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this pickup active, and what does that mean for my rig?

Yes, the EMG 91 is an active pickup powered by a 9V battery onboard the guitar. Active pickups deliver consistent output and lower impedance, meaning louder signal to your amp with less noise and more headroom—especially useful for high-gain and studio recording.

What genres and playing styles is the 91 best suited for?

The EMG 91 excels in metal, hard rock, punk, and aggressive alternative styles where you need high output, tight low-end, and articulate treble. It's less ideal for clean jazz or vintage-toned blues, but works across any genre if you want a modern, punchy character.

Will this pickup fit my bass guitar?

No—the EMG 91 is a 6-string guitar pickup. If you have a bass, look for EMG bass-specific models like the P5, P6, or DCX; installing a guitar pickup in a bass will not function correctly.

What's included, and do I need to buy a preamp separately?

The EMG 91 is the pickup only. You will need a compatible active electronics cavity, 9V battery compartment, and wiring harness in your guitar; EMG sells complete pre-wired systems if your guitar is not already routed for active electronics.

Do I pay sales tax on this order?

We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces such as eBay, Reverb and Amazon collect sales tax in nearly every state as marketplace facilitators no matter who the seller is, so the same item at the same price costs less bought direct. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included. Some states ask buyers to self-report use tax on out-of-state purchases.
