Another EMG X thread...

By reading other threads seems like the "X" series goes both deeper and higher than standard EMG.
I have one bass loaded with an EMG P/J set(and a spector tonepump pre) and another one with a P/J X set (and a EMG BQC pre) and to me seem like the X just goes deeper.

In one of the other EMG X thread, someone suggested to check the "resonant peak" in the PDF on the EMG page.
The "resonant peak" value on the X pickups is always lower or on par with the traditional one, while “Thump” is always increased.
But since I know absolutely nothing about it (and about electronics in general)...
Do someone knows what does it means (in a “for dummies” way)?

I'm trying to understand because I'm thinking of swapping a pair of 40TW for a set of 40DC or DCX (to use with a tonepump). I'm used to bright sounding pups, and while the TW are good and versatile, they are quite dark.
I'm looking for something aggressive, grindy and good to cut through a busy mix, hence the DC/DCX choice but it seems ther's no abundance of DCX audio clip, let alone a comparison against old DC...

Thanks in advance.

 

I like the TW more in the "single coil" mode. As humbucker they seems quite dark.
Seems the only EMG I can find are P/J or P/J X in regular housing, Dc or dcx, and MM style but thanks anyway

Gonna try them a bit more.

Me neither. ^^

 

Yes, you're right. I'm thinking of replacing the TW with something more bright and aggresive (like DC or DCX). Sorry, guess my english is bad^^
I know EMG makes P and J pickups in soapbar housing, but I can not find them neither in my local shops or in online stores like Thomann.
