Features :
Active 9 or 18 Volt. Push-Pull switch canges from Jazz-type stacked-dual-coil to a Humbucker side-by-side configuration with a ceramic and steel (CS) sound.

Instrument :
N/A

Sound : 8
Sounds great like you would expect but my biggest disappointment is that the Jazz pickup mode is only 60% as loud as the Humbucker (side-by-side) mode. If you have another pickup in your bass (or even if you don't), you find you have to change the overall volume a lot to keep the balance between the two pickup modes of the EMG 40-TW and/or between the 40-TW and a second pickup. Therefore, you can't just swtich easily in the middle of a song.

Overall Rating : No Opinion
