Description
EMG JV HZ Passive Bass Pickup Set
The EMG JV-HZ Passive captures classic passive bass tone with modern hum-canceling engineering, delivering warm, articulate fundamentals ideal for tracking and mixing without active electronics. This pickup set combines Alnico construction with side-by-side coil positioning to eliminate 60-cycle hum while maintaining the organic response and transparency passive players expect in the studio. The included solderless wiring harness streamlines installation, keeping setup time minimal so you can focus on recording.
Tonal Character & Specifications
Alnico 5 pole pieces in both neck and bridge pickups establish a warm, balanced frequency response with natural compression and defined low-end articulation that cuts through dense mixes. The side-by-side coil arrangement creates hum-canceling geometry without sacrificing the transparent dynamics that passive bass pickups are known for, eliminating unwanted noise while preserving pickup sensitivity and note definition—critical for clean recording chains and session versatility.
Installation & Included Hardware
Solderless connectivity throughout the system allows quick, tool-free installation using the provided cables and connectors, minimizing studio downtime. This EMG set ships complete with all necessary components: two 250k volume potentiometers, one 250k tone potentiometer, mono output jack, mounting hardware, bridge ground connector and wire, and interconnect cables—everything required for a complete retrofit or new build.
