EMG PJX Active Bass Pickup Set in Ivory
The EMG PJX Active Bass Pickup Set captures articulate, punchy tone with minimal noise—a hallmark of active electronics built for professional recording and mixing. This X Series configuration pairs a PX pickup for warmth and low-end authority with an LJX pickup for mid-range definition and high-end clarity, enabling versatile voicing across the frequency spectrum that translates clearly through the mix. The ivory finish integrates seamlessly into classic or contemporary bass aesthetics.
Active Electronics & Studio Tone
Active pickup designs eliminate the inductance issues that plague passive systems, yielding increased headroom and extended frequency response that captures detail without coloration. The ceramic magnets paired with the dual-pickup configuration allow you to dial in anything from deep, focused lows to articulate, cutting highs—essential for session work, rock, funk, and modern production styles where clarity and blend-ability across multiple tracks matter most.
Installation & Signal Chain Setup
Solderless connectivity streamlines installation and reduces the risk of heat damage to components, making this set accessible to studio technicians or engineers comfortable with basic electronics work. The complete package includes pre-configured potentiometers, output and battery circuitry, all necessary cables, and mounting hardware—everything needed to complete the swap and integrate into your recording chain without sourcing additional parts.

Solderless connectivity streamlines the installation process and reduces the risk of heat damage to components, making this set accessible to intermediate players comfortable with basic electronics work or professional technicians.
How does the PX and LJX pairing affect tone?
The PX pickup delivers warmth and low-end authority, while the LJX focuses on mid-range definition and high-end clarity. Together they give you a versatile voicing that can dial in deep, focused lows or articulate, cutting highs depending on your playing style and the song.
