The EMG 35JCS 4-String Soapbar Active Bass Pickup, Black caters to bass players seeking a distinct sonic character. It achieves this by combining the familiar warmth of a traditional jazz bass pickup with a modern twist on tone. Let’s delve into what makes the 35JCS unique:
Unveiling the Tonal Palette
At the heart of the 35JCS lie ceramic magnets paired with steel pole pieces. This configuration meticulously crafts a smooth top end. The result? A noticeably warmer and smoother attack compared to standard J pickups. By attenuating the high-end presence, the 35JCS caters to bassists who favor a fuller and more powerful low-end sound, perfect for genres that demand a robust bass foundation.
Beyond Warmth: Modern Playability and EMG Quiet Performance
The 35JCS isn’t just about warmth. It seamlessly integrates EMG’s renowned quiet operation into the mix. The low-impedance preamp effectively minimizes noise, ensuring a clean and pristine sonic output, even during high-gain performances or studio recordings. This allows your bass lines to shine through without unwanted hum or interference.
Installation Made Simple
EMG understands the importance of user-friendliness. That’s why the 35JCS features a solderless wiring system. This ingenious design eliminates the need for soldering, streamlining the installation process. Even if you’re a novice looking to upgrade your bass pickups, the 35JCS makes the installation a breeze.
Compatibility and Dimensions
The 35JCS is specifically designed for 4-string basses with a maximum string spacing of 2.625 inches. Its housing utilizes an extended 3.5-inch (89mm) cover cap, offering broader compatibility with various bass models. However, EMG always recommends double-checking the pickup dimensions against your existing pickups before purchasing. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit.
Incorporating the EMG 35JCS into your bass setup unlocks a world of tonal possibilities. Its unique blend of warmth, smoothness, and modern playability, coupled with EMG’s signature quiet performance, empowers bassists to redefine their sound and carve their own sonic niche.
