EMG JX Active Bass Pickup Set in White
The EMG JX Active Bass Pickup Set captures articulate, controlled bass frequencies ideal for tracking and mixing in the studio. Pairing ceramic magnet pickups with EMG's X Series preamp architecture, this active system delivers defined highs, punchy mids, and tight low-end response across the full dynamic range—essential for achieving clarity in dense arrangements or standing out in dense mixes. Solderless connections speed installation and modification, making it practical for home-studio bass rigs that may require quick adjustments between sessions. The white finish provides a clean aesthetic while maintaining transparent sonic character.
Electronics & Installation
Built on an active pickup system powered by battery, the JX set uses solderless connections that eliminate desoldering during electronics swaps or experimental wiring. The complete electronics package includes two 25k volume potentiometers, one 25k tone potentiometer, stereo output jack, battery clip set, mounting screws, and all necessary cables—allowing quick integration into your recording setup without the need for specialized soldering skills or downtime.
Specifications & Compatibility
The neck pickup measures 91.19mm (3.59") length × 18.54mm (0.73") width, while the bridge pickup measures 93.99mm (3.70") length × 18.54mm (0.73") width, with a maximum recommended string width of 69.2mm (2.725"). These dimensions accommodate standard four-string bass configurations and fit most contemporary bass routes without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the EMG JX set, and do I need to buy anything else?
The set includes two active pickups (neck and bridge), two 25k volume potentiometers, one 25k tone potentiometer, stereo output jack, battery clip set, mounting screws, and all necessary cables. You'll need a bass with appropriate routing to fit the pickup dimensions and mounting hardware already in place, but all electronics components are included.
How do solderless connections work, and what's the advantage?
Solderless connections use quick-connect clips instead of solder joints, so you can plug and unplug pickups and electronics without a soldering iron. This makes swapping pickups, experimenting with different preamp settings, or troubleshooting connections much faster and accessible for players who don't have soldering experience.
Will these pickups fit my bass?
The neck pickup is 91.19mm × 18.54mm and the bridge pickup is 93.99mm × 18.54mm, with a maximum recommended string width of 69.2mm. These dimensions fit most contemporary four-string bass routes without modification, but you should verify your bass cavity dimensions before purchasing.
What tone can I expect from the EMG JX?
The EMG JX delivers defined highs, punchy mids, and controlled lows with high clarity and articulation across a wide dynamic range, making it well-suited for funk, jazz, and studio work where precision and note definition are priorities.
How is the active system powered?
The pickups run on battery power via the included battery clip set. Active electronics draw current continuously, so you'll want to keep spare batteries on hand if you play regularly.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $15 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
