Just bought a pair of EMG 40HZ and wanted to know if they are fake... the price is to good to be true... But I ended up buying one http://m.ebay.com/itm/271711067765?nav=SEARCH
I checked the sellers feedback and I didn't see anything pertaining to past deceptions they look like the real deal to me sometimes you just get lucky congrats.
Appear to be real...they are HZ's which is the cheaper, non-active EMG line. Checking past auctions, price is normal...here's a set that went for $51 with a preamp! http://www.ebay.com/itm/EMG-40HZ-Bass-Pickups-with-Active-Preamp-/191336539585?pt=Guitar&hash=item2c8c8be5c1&nma=true&si=nM14Vp%2FCB%2FN4stNpQRJCLcu5nvE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
