Guitar Microphone

The EMG FB Black pickup set combines punch and precision in a well-rounded duo. The PCSX (ceramic/steel) packs a punch on the bridge. The LJAX (Alnico) has just the right amount of bite on the neck. Frank Bello has created a kit that packs a punch, both visually and musically.

Frank Bello hasn't cut any corners with the EMG FB Set Black pickups. With this PJX signature set, he throws down a pair of pickups ready to bite, growl and bang. The PCSX sends out a compact, cutting bass that's great for laying down solid lines. The LJAX, softer but not timid, adds body and grit to the neck. Together, they create a solid balance, without ever sounding flat.

The X series preamp adds a breath of fresh air. More dynamics under the fingers, less unwanted saturation, and a responsiveness that follows your playing without dragging. You can even push the system to 18 volts for even greater amplitude.

Black cases don't go unnoticed. But under the bonnet, everything remains simple: seamless installation, total compatibility with the EMG ecosystem, clean wiring and robust components. This set exudes stage, studio, sweat and raw energy.

From heavy rock to raspy funk, the FB Set makes its voice heard. And you can be sure, it's not shy.
