EMG PX Active Bass Pickup in Black

EMG PX Active Bass Pickup in Black

The EMG PX is a single-coil P-style pickup engineered for players seeking articulate, punchy tone with minimal noise floor. This active design delivers responsive dynamics across finger, thumb, and slap techniques while maintaining the clarity and aggression that define modern bass playing. The ceramic magnet construction and compact footprint integrate seamlessly into any 4-string bass configured for P-style pickups.

Tone & Active Performance

The 3.20 kHz resonant frequency positions the pickup's peak response in the articulation-rich midrange, yielding defined note attack and presence without harshness. Active circuitry yields substantial output headroom: 2.00V finger/thumb output and 8.50V thump output give you dynamic range that translates slap techniques into cutting, punchy tone through any amp. On stage or in the studio, that headroom means your playing stays articulate and defined no matter how hard you dig in.

Signal Integrity & Power

-106 dB output noise at 60 Hz and 2 kohm output impedance ensure a clean signal path with minimal hum and maximum compatibility with standard bass preamps and amplification chains. The 80 µA current draw at 9V yields exceptional battery efficiency: 3,000 hours of battery life on a single 9V cell keeps the pickup powered through extended touring and studio sessions—no mid-gig power surprises.
