EMG HBCS availability?

Sign in to disble this ad
I found out that EMG has made CS-version of their Steinberger-style pickup. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Is it even available as aftermarket pickup? If you know where to look for it please reply. Plain HB-versions are available in numerous places, but so far no mention about HBCS.
Greetings,
Marko

Last time I went looking for a EMG P5, there wasn't a single dealer that had it in stock.

I was told it's a special order, you have to wait for them to build it on their next production run, then wait for it to be shipped on a slow boat from China.

My bet it's gonna be the same scenario with any of the less popular models not already in stock. Lead time 6 months minimum.

Yes they are special order. I may want to order one set too but it will cost a lot and it will take a lot of time.
BTW Metal Mitch, are you suggesting that they are made in China?

No, sorry - it's just an old figure of speech... "slow boat from China". I thought about that after I posted, with so many companies moving production there, someone might take it that way.

LOL, as I'm not a native speaker, I didn't know that saying

Back to the topic, I also asked EMG if I can use their guitar pickups (more precisely EMG 81 + EMG 85) on my bass instead of HB (which is actually in guitar humbucker size), they suggested me to use 2 x EMG 85, I'm still thinking about it...
