The EMG 40DC is a powerhouse for modern bass tones – think funk, rock, and anything needing serious cut. It's a solid upgrade for players wanting that classic EMG growl and aggressive punch without a ton of fuss. If you’re playing in a band where the bass needs to be heard, this pickup is a great option.
Product Description
EMG 40DC E-Bass Pickup, 40DC pickup for electric bassWhile the colleagues in the guitar section are more conservative with comparatively active pickups, the bassists were always more open and eager to experiment. So the EMG bass pickups have enjoyed great popularity for many years.
The EMG 40DC is a double spooler for 5-string basses. Due to the wide magnetic field, it has a very good bass response. Like all EMGs, it features an audible amplification of the mids, which fits very well with more modern soundscapes and helps every bass to be more assertive in the band context, especially with the often critical low H string.
