Powerful EMGs
They're fired up. The EMG HZ PJ pickup combination will take your breath away. Offering sheer power and an incredibly punchy voicing, they'll give your basslines the kick they need. Being active, they have a super high output which will blast through any mix with force, and you'll hear crisp detail in every note you play. The EMG JHZ in the bridge fires out sharp, biting, volcanic tone which is as aggressive as it is loud. The neck is subtler, but no less powerful, providing a touch more warmth and smoothness. Add in three-band EQ and blend controls and you've got a tonne of tonal options to do battle with.
Play to perfection
Pure quality. As you can imagine, the smooth maple neck and fingerboard facilitate the fastest, most aggressive playing. You'll be able to shred through basslines thanks to the sublime satin finish on the neck. You'll also enjoy the brightness and punch which the maple adds to your tone. And the fretboard feels superb underneath your fingertips, allowing for smooth fret transitions and ultra-precise playing. With these exceptional tools, your playing will know no limits.
Total tuning stability
It's locked down. A Jackson HiMass bridge keeps your strings firmly in place to prevent any tuning issues. The pickguard also helps to protect the shiny finish from scratches when you're picking aggressively. And Jackson sealed diecast tuners complete the show, offering even more string support. No matter how hard you play, you can be sure that this bass will be able to take it. Boasting a roaring voice and razor sharp playability, you can be sure that Dave Ellefson's signature is a bass fit for a thrash king.
