Frequently asked questions
Is the EMG 89X-R Long Shaft a real product?
The EMG 89X-R Long Shaft model designation does not appear in EMG's current or historical product documentation. You may want to verify the exact model number from your pickup, packaging, or purchase receipt before proceeding.
What is the EMG P6X designed for?
The P6X is engineered for six-string bass players in funk, modern bass, studio, and live performance contexts. Its high output, articulate midrange, and aggressive presence help it cut through dense mixes.
Does the P6X include everything I need to wire it into my bass?
Yes. The P6X includes a 25k volume pot, 25k active tone pot with variable low-pass filter, battery bus, stereo output jack, and connecting cables—a complete active circuit package.
How long will the battery last in the P6X?
The single 9V battery provides approximately 3000 hours of use (roughly 125 days of continuous playing) with only 80 microamps draw at 9V, so battery replacement is infrequent in typical use.
