EMG 45DC Active 6-String Bass Pickup - Black

The EMG-45DC, with its modern appearance is actually a product of 30+ years of design experience. Reproducing an extended range cleanly - both higher AND lower - taxes the abilities of conventional pickups. In the EMG-45DC, we have succeeded in etting this extended range by utilizing an ultra low noise, low-impedance internal preamp, paired with ceramic loaded dual parallel coils that result in an extremely versatile unit that can be used for just about anything from the cleanest highs right down to the dirtiest growling lows. This model uses an extended housing that is 4.5 inches (115mm), perfect for most six string spacing’s. See why musicians worldwide are raving about their DC’s!

The EMG 45DC Active 6-String Bass Pickup in Black is a high-performance pickup designed specifically for 6-string bass guitars. It delivers a powerful and clear sound, making it a popular choice among bassists who need versatility, punch, and definition across the entire frequency range. Known for its tonal clarity and headroom, the EMG 45DC is engineered to handle even the most aggressive playing styles, from fingerpicking to slap bass.

The 45DC pickup utilizes EMG's dual-coil design, which produces a beefy low-end response while maintaining clarity in the mids and highs. The ceramic magnets used in its construction enhance the brightness and sustain, making it ideal for modern bass players seeking a well-rounded, high-output tone with minimal noise and interference. This pickup is hum-canceling, which eliminates unwanted hum and buzz, particularly useful in live and studio environments.

A key feature of the EMG 45DC is its broad frequency response, which allows bassists to explore a wide range of tones, from deep and growling lows to crisp and defined highs. Whether you’re playing metal, rock, jazz, or funk, the EMG 45DC ensures that each note is articulated clearly. Its active design ensures that the signal is strong and consistent, reducing signal loss and improving dynamic response.

This pickup fits into a 4.5-inch (114mm) soapbar housing, making it compatible with a variety of basses that use this format. The active preamp built into the pickup provides enhanced control over tone and volume, giving you a dynamic and adaptable sound that fits various playing techniques and genres.
