Exclamation EMG Club!

Sign in to disble this ad
Here's the club, folks! You love the pickups. You love the preamps. Show us some pics of your EMG's and self-proclaim a member #. I'm takin' #1.

Here's my baby. It's a Spector Euro 4 LX. Though it's got the stock Tone Pump Preamp in it, the BQC system is going in it in a couple of weeks.

NS-2A on the left, EMG P/J and BQC


Stock (except for 18V) pair of ReBops with HZs. The 5-string will get a BTS and a set of 40 DCs very soon.

I am #3 then, I will post pics tomorrow (or when I can).

I have an Ibanez SR496 with 40Js and a BQS system.
There is a 35DC and BQC waiting to go in another bass and I am thinking a P5J set for a 5 string P Deluxe that I just bought.

Absolutely beautiful! I wish I could find some concentric wooden knobs for the BQC I'm going to be dropping in to my Spector.

Thanks!

While they are somewhat pricey, Roger at THG Knobs will make you literally anything you want. He and I chatted countless times via e-mail to come up with the ones on that bass. They have a Cherry cap, Pau Ferro body, Pau Ferro position dot, and thin slice of ebony between the cap and the body (can't really see it in the pics). I had him shape all of the knobs so the stacked on and the others looked as close to identical as possible. So he made the skirting on the non-stacked slightly larger, and the lower stack slightly smaller. They came out damn good, IMO.

He really is great to deal with.

Here it is: a Warmoth Jazz of sorts. I expect a one-digit member number...like 5 or something.

Maybe I can qualify for one of the oldest & well worn set of EMG's with this picture? I think installed these in my Fender Jazz somewhere around 89' & they still sound great and its still my #1 bass! Definitely EMG's for life!

Most well worn you say?



Though I think yours probly win.

I like the EMG's but they're just not quite my tone but thats why its my second bass and my primary has a pair of big humbuckers. That said, my primary is out of action for a bit, so I'm happily rockin' that bass at the moment.

Here's my Ibanez EXB-404 with the P/J setup. Unfortunately I'll be selling it soon.

Ever since I heard EMG's in a Steinie during the late eighties there has been no other pick ups AFAIC.

1994 Acacia Custom 4 with EMG 35P4 (neck) and EMG 35J (bridge).

I want in. I've got:

Three EMG 45DCs
Two EMG HZ's
One EMG PJ Set
One afterbuner
Three Pa-2's
One Pi-2
One BTS System
One BQC System

Sign me up for presidential membership! I don't care what these naysayers swear, EMG, to my ears, stomps my old Bartolini-equipped BTB Prestige's ass to the ground. My adventure with EMG started with one EMG45DC for a whimsical fancy, and ended up as over a grand in EMG goods, and a complete overhaul of my bass lineup.

The bass is being built right now (by Chaz Farkass) so I don't have pics yet, but It will have an EMG MMCS and a PA2 in it.
So sign me up!

Noisevayne, cool avatar of Upshot-Knothole Grable.

I don't have a full 'family' picture, which would include my two Warmoths- one with EMG P/J's and one with EMG J's,
but here are my three Spirits. The XZ-2 has EMG HBCS actives, and the two XZ-25's have EMG Select passives.

The XZ-25 fretted has a HAS Sound custom harness, and the fretless has an Audere Z-mode system.
Note - this picture was taken before the HAS and Audere harnesses were installed. New picture forthcoming.
