EMG 45TWX
The EMG 45TWX provides with two independent pickups - a single coil and a humbucker with the X Series preamp for an increased dynamic response and clarity. The single coil mode is a JCSX pickup, built with ceramic and steel magnets for a rich and warm tone. The humbucker mode is the popular CSX (ceramic steel) dual-coil for a big, aggressive sound with a pronounced mid range.
The added X preamp gives both modes more headroom and touch response, bridging the gap between passive and active pickups. A push/pull volume (or tone) pot allows you to change from the rich clarity of a JCSX pickup sound to the fatness of the CSX humbucker.
When using two of TWX pickups in the same instrument - it is not recommended to use EMGs BT or BQ systems. Each pickup requires a push/pull pot for switching from single coil to humbucker, so the balance control included with the system can't be installed.
Should the be a need for a balance control - switching single/dual coil outputs with a DPDT toggle switch(es) is to be considered.
This model uses an extended housing of 4.5 inches (115 mm). For 6-string basses.
