The MMCS is a direct replacement pickup for the Music Man Bass. Music Man's introduction of the large profile pickup changed bass playing forever. This dual-coil pickup has wide bobbins combined with a large coil surface area that gives the MMCS a most amazing bass tone. Utilizing EMG's popular CS (ceramic and steel) design the MMCS is a great mixture of design, with ceramic magnets for a transparent high end with steel added to increase the inductance for a powerful and warm low-end. It's easy to get great clean tone, but it can also warm up for a great ballad. If you are looking for a bass pickup with a thunderous low-end, this is it.
