Description
EMG JV Split Shaft Active Bass Pickup Set in Black
The EMG JV delivers punchy, articulate bass tone with the reliability of active circuitry and the convenience of EMG's solder-less installation system. This set pairs neck and bridge pickups with split-shaft controls, giving you independent volume and tone adjustment without the complexity of traditional wiring.
Pickup Design & Specifications
Neck and bridge pickups feature traditional exposed pole pieces and active circuitry tuned for clarity and output. The neck pickup measures 3.59" × 0.73" while the bridge extends to 3.7" × 0.73", sized to fit standard bass routes with consistent sonic balance across both positions.
Electronics & Installation
Active operation runs on a single 9-volt battery, connected through the included battery bus for straightforward power management. EMG's solder-less install system eliminates soldering entirely—the included 6.35mm jack connector and pre-terminated cables connect directly to the included potentiometers and output jack, reducing installation time and potential errors. Road-ready electronics you can swap out between gigs without a tech on speed dial.
