EMG 40P - Active 6-String P Bass Pickup

The EMG 40P is specifically crafted for 6-string basses with narrow string spacing, offering the iconic P bass sound in an extended range housing. This pickup is designed for bass guitars like the Spector or Yamaha, where the treble magnet is closer to the neck. It provides a wide sonic palette, combining both classic and modern bass tones to cater to a variety of musical styles. The use of ceramic magnets along with short, squat coils results in a tone that boasts high-end articulation, warmth, and a punchy low end, making it a favorite among professional bass players for its natural presence, superior dynamics, and remarkably low noise.

The EMG 40P pickup features EMG's renowned solderless wiring system, which simplifies installation, allowing musicians to upgrade their bass at home with ease. The ceramic magnets ensure a bright, clear sound with exceptional string definition, while the design helps in maintaining a balanced output across all strings, even with the unique string spacing of extended-range basses. This pickup fits into a 4-inch extended housing, crafted for those who require precision and clarity in their bass tone.

Whether you're laying down intricate basslines or providing the backbone for a powerful rhythm section, the EMG 40P offers the flexibility and performance needed to stand out in any musical setting. With its active design, it amplifies your bass playing with the punch and clarity that only EMG pickups can deliver.
