When it comes to accurately capturing the full tonal range of the Euro 4 Rex Brown Signature bass, EMG’s P/J pickup set does the job handily. Part of EMG’s X series, this active P/J pickup set leverages an advanced high-output design that delivers increased headroom and girth, along with the clarity and dynamic response for which EMG pickups are cherished. The split-coil neck pickup serves up warmth and low-end punch, while the single-coil bridge pickup supplies tight, growling mids and dynamic high-end response for a well-defined attack. Together with Spector’s advanced TonePump preamp, this electronics package provides maximum tonal versatility and the ability to drive long cable runs and complex processing chains without a hint of noise.
Paired with EMG P/J-X pickups, the TonePump delivers classic Spector tone. Famous for its hot output and rich harmonic texture, the Spector TonePump serves up aggression by the truckload. Driven by a unique JFET-based circuit that gently distorts with increased gain, the TonePump produces massively fat bottom end topped with midrange grind for a powerful sound that plows through heavy metal mixes. The 2-band EQ provides extensive bass and treble boost/cut without the usual midrange scoop, while an internal trimpot is included for setting your preferred maximum output gain. The low and high EQ pots are continuously variable without detents, leaving you free to dial in your own signature “flat” setting.
If you’ve always craved a Spector NS bass, you’ll dig the Euro series. These basses are production versions of those coveted instruments, with the same sleek carved bodies as their US-made cousins. Euro series basses are handcrafted in the Czech Republic using top-shelf tonewoods from the United States and Europe. You’ll love the natural resonance, amazing tone, and off-the-charts playability of these fine instruments, which now give you a choice of neck-through and bolt-on designs with premium pickups and high-performance preamps.
