EMG - LJHZ Black

The EMG LJHZ Black doesn't try to seduce, it commands respect. This passive pickup, designed for the bridge of jazz basses (4 or 5 strings), takes its cues from the great classics while incorporating modern know-how.

Its double stacked coil construction limits noise without sacrificing grain. The result is a pure, clean, interference-free signal, even when the volume is turned up. Ceramic magnets combined with steel studs deliver a firm response, accurate mids and chiselled highs.

With a voice that's both warm and dynamic, it adapts to fretted or fretless bass without flinching. It absorbs the nuances of playing without smoothing them out. In the studio or on stage, it stays true to what you send it.

Installation is straightforward, with no need for batteries, no soldering (except for the long jack) and ground connections included. The pickup integrates seamlessly into a classic Volume / Volume / Tone configuration.

Imagine: you're playing a funk riff in your living room, your amp stuck to the wall. You slip in a sharp slap, then a steady note. The LJHZ takes it all in with precision, without betraying your intention. Now that's what we call a microphone that follows your playing, not the other way round.
