PICKUP AND MAGNET DIMENSIONS:
All EMG-TB Models have the same housing dimensions (shown above).
The differences in each of the models are in the magnet widths and type. The drawings below show the magnet placement for all versions,
4-string and for a narrow 5-string bass. You should check the width of your strings against the magnet dimensions below to make sure there
is sufficient string coverage. A rule of thumb for any pickup is that the total magnet width should be the string width plus twice the distance
the pickup is from the strings. So, If the pickup is 3/16” (5mm) from the strings, with a magnet width of 2.90“ (73.5mm) the maximum string width
would be 2.50” (64mm). If your string width is too wide for the pickups shown below, choose one of the EMG-40 Extended Series Pickups,
with a 4 inch (101mm) housing, where similar styles of EMG pickups are available.
