Frequently asked questions
What bass types do these fit?
The EMG JVX is designed for 4-string Jazz Bass configuration with standard routing. The neck pickup is 91.19mm and bridge is 93.99mm in length, both 18.54mm wide.
Is soldering required for installation?
No. The JVX uses EMG's Quik-Connect header system with a mating cable for solderless installation. The complete active electronics package ships pre-wired and ready to install.
What genres and playing styles suit the JVX?
The JVX excels in jazz, funk, studio sessions, and gigging. Its punchy, articulate character with tight low-end and clear midrange is not ideal for drop tunings.
What powers the active electronics?
A standard 9V battery powers the active circuit. The set includes battery clip and output jack, so the system is complete out of the box.
