Passive pickup
Carol G. 29.12.2014
i,ve been using these pickups for about twelve years and in my opinion, have a beautiful warm tone that heralds back to the 60's. The quick connect system makes customisation simple with no soldering needed. The early generation of this pickup didn't have the quick connect system but again was relatively simple to make the mods to the wiring loom. Next plan is to convert the old wiring over to the EMG BTS. The only issue I can see is the instructions are not clear enough for novices, but with a little rationalising its a doddle.

Used in a fretless
Patrick M 15.05.2013
Purchased this pickup to use in a hand constructed fretless bass. All the parts come with the pickup for a relatively easy installation, although the inclusion of springs or similar to push the pickup upwards would be helpful for those not replacing a pickup.

In terms of sound quality, it is exactly what I was looking for. The sound is warm yet defined, but even on a fretless responds with some power when the gain goes up. Harmonics are nice and clear, and the whole sound is never muddy. Definitely recommended for those who want a slightly more modern fretless sound.

The best bang for the buck
Hubert U. 20.02.2014
I bought the pickup about a year ago for my Dean Metalman Bass.

Though it doesn't fit perfectly (The EMG is about 1cm too small for the original fitting) it looks better.
The workmansship of the pre-wired humbucker ist quite good.

The pickup sounds way better than the original one. It has a slightly mid boosted tone but doesn't lose any of it's strength in deep end frequencies. High frequencies are rendered a bit more agressive but still clearly.
Changing the pickup also reduced humming and background noises.

The only disatvantage I found out so far is that the blend control has much less influence on the tone than before.

All in all, for less than 60 € the EMG 35 HZ is an outstanding pickup with a nice sound, especially for rock / metal.

Problem with pot posts
Gusdeadman 17.08.2020
It went together easy enough and sounds great but the posts of the volume and tone pots aren't the normal split ones with splines so the original knobs of the Fleabass don't fit. I want to keep the original look so it looks like I'll have to hack the wires to fit the original pots or hack the posts to fir the knobs. Really lazy planning on their part.

Philip636 26.11.2014
This was purchased as a direct replacement for an active pick up and for a passive pick up these sound great, good top end clarity with a decent bottom end as well! I'd definitely recommend these.
