Installation & CompatibilityThese pickups mount as a direct replacement for EMG 40 sized cavities, making retrofit straightforward on compatible instruments. The 3.10" maximum string spacing accommodates standard and wider 5-string bass neck widths without compromise.
Key FeaturesThe Blackouts ASB-BO-5S are engineered for players who need articulate, punchy tone with enough output to drive amplifiers hard without muddiness.
