EMG MMCS vs. EMG MMTW

OkkultistBass · #1 08-24-2011, 04:25 AM

So I've been looking at EMG pickups to put into my Dean, and I'm not quite sure what the difference between the two is. I can't find many demos videos or any comparisons.

So if anyone knows the difference between the two, it'd be really nice to help me out.

Thanks.

The TW pups can switch between single and dual-coil, with a significant volume loss in single-coil mode, but in dual-coil they're essentially the same as a CS. From the website:

The single-coil mode is a new version of our J pickup built in the CS (ceramic and steel). The dual-coil mode is our popular CS dual-coil consisting of two coils opposite one another creating a pickup similar to model 40CS. A push/pull volume (or tone) pot allows you to change from the clarity of a single-coil to the fatness of a dual-coil.

I get it now! Thanks.
Looks like I'm going with the CS.
