Inside the EMG 45TWX are two independent pickups: a single coil and a
humbucker with the X Series preamp for increased dynamic response and
clarity. The single-coil mode is our JCSX pickup built with ceramic
magnets and steel pole pieces for a rich, warm tone. The humbucker mode
is our 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. This six string bass pickup uses a 45 Extended housing that
is 4.5 inches (115mm).
When using two of TWX Pickups in the same instrument it is not recommended that our BT or BQ Systems be used. 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. If you want to use the balance control, consider switching single/dual coil outputs with a DPDT toggle switch(s) instead.
