Description

The JA is a new bass pickup option based on one the original EMG pickups, the J. This new addition differs in that it uses Alnico V magnets instead of the ceramic magnets of the original. Because the JA utilizes Alnico V magnets coupled with short, squat coils, the tone is endowed with openness and warmth for a more vintage tone, all with less noise and more signal. The X series provide increased headroom giving the voicing an organic and open tone while still maintaining the clarity and response that EMG s are renowned for. X s are best described as bridging the gap between passive and active tone.
