IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
1) Only one battery is required for the pickups,
and any active accessories such as the BTC,
BTS, BQC, VMC, B30, and B64 equalizers.
Two batteries wired in series for 18 volts is
recommended for bass to increase headroom
and enhance performance.
2) Use an Alkaline or Lithium battery for longest life.
3) The controls included with EMG Systems are 25K
Ohm, Audio Taper. This value of control is required
for the system to work correctly.
4) When installing EMG Pickups, DO NOT reconnect
the bridge ground wire. This wire is usually soldered
to a volume or tone control casing and goes to the
bridge. This wire grounds the strings and uses them
and your body as a shield against hum and buzz. It
also creates a shock hazard. EMG Pickups are
shielded internally and DO NOT require string
grounding. This greatly reduces the possibility of
reverse polarity shock from microphones and other
equipment
5) EMG Active Pickups have very little magnetism
compared to passive pickups. We recommend
you adjust the pickups as close to the strings as
possible. Sustain and string movement will not be
inhibited by close adjustment.
6) If your installation is different from the diagrams in
these instructions or you need additional diagrams

listing of available diagrams.

NOTE:
When installing the J Set, the LJ5 is mounted in
The bridge position and the SJ 5is mounted in the
neck position.
1) Remove the existing pickups, control set and jack.
2) Mount the EMG Control set and output jack in
the instrument.
3) If the pickups need support, use some of the foam
included in the package to act as pressure pads
behind the pickups. Install the pickups in the bass,
routing the cables into the control cavity.

4) Solder the braid of the pickup cable to the case of
the pot as shown in the diagram.
5) Solder the inner white “hot” wire of the pickup
cable to the volume pot(s) as shown in the diagram.
6) Solder the red wire(s) of the pickup(s) to the red wire
from the battery clip and cover this connection with
the heat shrink tubing provided.
7) Wrap the battery in some of the packaging foam and
attach it to the battery clip.
8) Test the instrument by tapping on the pickups lightly
with a screwdriver while plugged into an a
