EMG PJCS Active Bass Pickup Set in Black

You get one active EMG P pickup, one active EMG LJ pickup, a fully prewired control assembly with dual volume controls and master tone, output jack, battery clip, adjustment screws, and two Quick-Connect cables for fast installation.

The 9V battery delivers approximately 3,000 hours of playing time before replacement is needed.

The P pickup delivers punchy midrange and strong fundamental, while the LJ pickup adds articulate high-end clarity. Together they produce a clear, defined signal with minimal noise—perfect for funk, rock, and progressive styles where definition matters.

Active pickups like these produce stronger signal output (1.0V RMS), lower noise floor, and more consistent tone across different bass woods and strings. The trade-off is battery maintenance, but the 3,000-hour lifespan makes that minimal.

This is a universal P/J configuration designed for standard Fender-style bass bodies with P and J pickup cavities. Verify your bass has both cavity types and standard spacing before ordering.
