A Classic Revisited: Vintage Tone with Active Precision
The EMG JVX is designed for bassists who love the personality of a vintage Jazz Bass but want to avoid the noise and limitations of traditional passive pickups. By combining exposed magnets with an old-school look and a more open EMG X Series preamp, this set offers a familiar character with a broader and more controlled response.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
This set is aimed at musicians seeking a vintage vibe (smooth attack, expressive mids, clear definition) while enjoying the comfort of an active pickup: stable output level, noise-free playing, and a wide dynamic range. Ideal for funk, pop, rock, soul, studio work, or any situation where you want a Jazz Bass that cuts through the mix without unwanted noise.
X Series Preamp and Active VLPF Tone Control: Fine Control, Natural Feel
The X Series preamp delivers increased dynamics and greater headroom while maintaining a traditional balance across the strings. The JVX also features an active VLPF tone control designed to progressively roll off high frequencies, similar to a passive tone control. The result is a classic, quiet EMG sound that bridges the feel of passive pickups with the precision of active electronics, offering usable response across the entire frequency range.
