Installation notes:
All EMG Pickups are compatible with each other. EMG accessories, the VLPF, EXG, SPC or RPC Controls can be added to any EMG Pickup System
without requiring an extra battery. DO NOT reconnect the bridge ground wire, EMG Pickups do not require string grounding. Use the 25K Ohm
controls that are included for best results. If your output jack is a long panel style you will need a stereo jack, use a SwitchCraft 152B , soldering
will be required (see the bottom of page 2). Adjust the pickup level to the strings, and at a distance that works for you, experiment. Alternate
wiring diagrams are available at; emgpickups.com.

Installation Instructions:
EMG Models: EMG PJ SET
General Notes:
Every attempt has been made to make this a solderless installation.
There are some instances where this is not possible;
1) If your instrument uses the long panel output jack and you had passive pickups
you will need a new stereo output jack, the Switchcraft 152B is recommended.
Soldering to the new jack will be required, see page 3.
2) Power Supply tips are on page 4. If your instrument has a battery holder,
you are installing this pickup with an older EMG, or you want to supply your
instrument with +18 Volts, see page 4 for tips to avoid soldering.
Installation Instructions:
2 Pickups, 2 Volume controls, 1 Master Tone, no selection switch
PJ-Bass Style wiring
Refer to Diagram #2
1) Install the Pickups and route the Pickup cables to the control cavity.
If the cables are too long, keep any excess under the pickup.
2) Mount the Volume and Tone controls into the body / pickguard.
Plug the Neck Pickup Cable onto the Neck Volume control.
Plug the Bridge Pickup Cable onto the Bridge Volume control.
3) Plug a connect cable from the Neck Volume control to the Bridge Volume
control.
4) Plug a connect cable from the Bridge Volume control to the Tone control.
5) Plug the output cable from the Tone control and connect the output
wires to the output jack by pushing the connectors on as shown.
WHITE wire onto the TIP (T) contact,
BLACK wire onto the SLEEVE (S) contact
BLACK Battery Negative wire onto the RING (R) contact.
6) Plug the RED Wires of the pickups onto the V+ Supply Buss (RED Shroud)
along with the RED of the battery clip.
Extra pins on the V+ Supply Buss are for EMG Accessories.
7) Wrap the battery in insulating foam and place it securely in the control cavity.
We suggest that you plug in the instrument and test it before closing the
control cavity.

the diagram above, but use a Balance control instead of 2 Volume controls.
The Tone Control shown in this diagram can be replaced with VLPF Active
Tone Control, EMG-EXB Expander, EMG-BTC Control (Active Bass and Treble EQ)
or the VMC.
