EMG pickups are state-of-the-art, popular pickups for electric guitars and basses, known for clear sound reproduction, low noise and versatility. With their active technology, they produce a strong, interference-resistant signal, especially in high-gain situations. Available in various versions, they offer vintage to modern sounds and enable flexible sound adjustments with features such as push-pull potentiometers. Particularly appreciated in rock and metal, EMG pickups are characterized by reliability and first-class sound quality.
A “set-neck” (glued-in) neck is a design that is characterized by its tonal and playing properties. In contrast to neck-body connections, where the neck is screwed, the set-neck is firmly glued to the bass body. The fixed neck connection eliminates the need for screws and additional connection mechanisms, resulting in a more direct transmission of string vibrations to the body. The result is a powerful, resonant sound with longer sustain.
An ebony fretboard is characterized by a clear and precise tone quality. The dense structure of the wood allows the string vibrations to be efficiently transferred to the body, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with clear highs and well-defined mids.
