EMG PJCSX Active Precison/Jazz Bass Pickup Set (Ceramic & Steel)

Active Precision/Jazz Bass Pickup Set

Installation notes:

All EMG Pickups are compatible with each other.  EMG accessories, the VLPF, EXG, SPC or RPC Controls can be added to any EMG Pickup System without requiring an extra battery. DO NOT reconnect the bridge ground wire, EMG Pickups do not require string grounding. Use the 25K Ohm controls that are included for best results. If your output jack is a long panel style you will need a stereo jack, use a SwitchCraft 152B , soldering will be required (see the bottom of page 2). Adjust the pickup level to the strings, and at a distance that works for you, experiment.
