- When a product is so good it leaves my mouth open I have to create a video. These 6 string bass pickups are amazing, Powerful, noise-free and (revolutionarily) easy to install. I take you through all the steps, with very detailed video clips, show you how even an amateur can install them and get a 100% professional result. I give a few tips, show you a few common pitfalls and problems you can run into. I added a few sound samples at the end, no cheating with volume, equalizer, compressor or anything.

Great work! One tip: you can test pickups by playing a song on your phone and putting the phone speakers next to the pickups, they should act like mics.
Nice one! I will try that next time!
thank you for this Brilliant video 🙏
i stay between emg and aquiliar , but after this video will make right decision 👍👍👍
Funny, EMG or Aguilar were also my last two contestants. The Aguilar did not specify which string spacing (at the bridge) they would be suitable for, which would have been a gamble. An expensive gamble, because they are even more than the EMGs. I have Aguilars on my Jazz Bass, the are great, but are not as noiseless as the EMGs.
Good work man and very talented playing. Thanks for sharing and the tips in your comments. I'm subscribed and I love EMG pickups and prefer passive as well.
Thank you very much! A year and many recordings later, they could offer a little bit more on the high frequency end. I guess the noisefree comes with a price.
@@BassCave7 LTD seems to have good electrical components, noise free. It's probably the best starter six string. I love basses. Maybe not the string space you might desire. But for where I'm at the LTD six string is really all I need for a six string. I had the opportunity in 2022 to get into owning instruments. I got some killer deals. I'm really happy with everything I got. I didn't send anything back. Anyway I'm from Oregon so cheers from Oregon country! And you can think of Oregon as a home. A home after your native birth place. It's got good potential and it's relatively safe.
Nicely done! 🙂
I watched the other video, then had to hunt this one down. You should link this one on the old one and vice versa, probably get more views
Hey Gene, thank you for the tip, I am just starting out, so every help welcome! The other Video was the AliExpress one right? Cheers and Thank you!
@@BassCave7 yeah same with me. I came here after your aliexpress video
thanks for doing the comparison and install! I'm curious to hear the difference on the b string
You are welcome, the B string was basically not amplified with the original pickups, the magnet did not reach enough.
@@BassCave7 ah darn!
Hi! The instrument you own looks very much as a De Oliveira bass, a small Brazilian basses company from Natal, capital of the Northeast state of Rio Grande do Norte. The 12th fret logo looks very much like the logo they use on their instruments. They have a CZcams official channel (Portuguese only, I'm afraid). If you feel like it, check them out. Cheers!
Ouh you are right, I already found out a while back. I was really disappointed because the bass did not look like a knock off like they usually have on AliExpress. They had a brand name "Flyoung" so I thought it was original. Sadly still a copy, I will buy them no more. Admittedly, the two basses I have, 6 string, 6 string fretless are really tops, play well, sound great. The electronics were completely disfunctional, butbeasy to replace.
TO Why is the EMG connected in the kit in coils in series and out-of-phase since according to the diagram there are 2 negatives?
Well, I'll be honest, the great thing about the EMGs, you just follow the instructions and it works and I don't need to worry about questions like this. There are 4 pins sticking out of the pickup, that become 2 pins on the control. I imagine the two coils are in series. I had Jazz Bass Aguilars, with 2 coils, where 2 cables were soldered together, and the other two went to the tuner as well, probably the same. But like I said, I don't know, and I really appreciate the ease of installment they provide.
Can u plz ping the link for this picups for 6 string bass guitar
Hi @surjadutta, I bought them here www.thomann.de/intl/emg_45hz_basspickup.htm and also here www.musamaailma.fi/fi/emg-45hz-bassomikrofoni , stock is always a bit low, you might have to ask and wait. Cheers!
I hear a hiss on the background with the EMGs
I went back to the original material, no matter how I crank it up, I don't get a hiss. Maybe it was the fingers sliding over the strings?
It’s the fingers mate, new strings
Hi, Exactly, but new strings would make the shish noise even louder! What I need is more practice kilometers!
