Inside the EMG 35TW are two independent tonal options: a single coil and
a humbucker with EMG's renowned preamp circut. The single-coil mode is
our JCS pickup built with ceramic and steel magnets, warm tone.
The humbucker mode is our popular CS (ceramic steel) dual-coil for a
big, aggressive sound with a pronounced mid-range. A push/pull volume
(or tone) pot allows you to change from the rich clarity of a J pickup
sound to the fatness of the CS humbucker.
When using two of TW Pickups in the same instrument it is not
recommended that our BT or BQ Systems be used. Each pickup requires a
push/pull pot for switching from single coil to humbucker, so the
balance control included with the system can't be installed. If you
want to use the balance control, consider switching single/dual coil
outputs with a DPDT toggle switch(s) instead.
This four string bass pickup uses a 35 Extended housing that is 3.5 inches (89mm).
