EMG-PA (V.01/.02) [ Winter NAMM 2008 ]

11 December 2007 — Based on the company’s successful EMG-P, the new EMG-PA bass pickup utilises Alnico magnets to replace the more ‘modern’ sounding ceramic magnets. Another feature is the coils, short and squat like original Fender style coils. With two models available, the first – the V.01, uses a solid magnet under the strings giving the sound a more direct attack. While both designs have higher headroom and the quietness associated with EMG active pickups, the second version – the V.02, uses pole pieces staggered each side of the strings for a more traditional sound. Available with black, white or ivory cover caps, the setup includes EMG’s exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, pre-wired solid shaft volume/tone set, output jack, battery clip set and adjustment screws.
