Is this pickup set Active??

The EMG-HB requires a battery but I dont see any eq controls. Forgive my ignorance on this issue (as with all others ).

Yes, that's an active pickup. EMG's pickups (not HZ's or Selects) have the preamp inside the pickup but can be used with an addtitonal onboard preamp.

so in order to add bass eq I would have to buy an additional preamp?

any recommendations?

This p/u will be used in a Hohner /steinberger copy.

Are the EMG HBs a good quality pickup with the lots of low-end power?

thanks!

Any from Emg, Bart, Aguilar. What particular one would fit your needs depends on what your needs are - 2 band / 3 band?
