Passive pickup
i,ve been using these pickups for about twelve years and in my opinion, have a beautiful warm tone that heralds back to the 60's. The quick connect system makes customisation simple with no soldering needed. The early generation of this pickup didn't have the quick connect system but again was relatively simple to make the mods to the wiring loom. Next plan is to convert the old wiring over to the EMG BTS. The only issue I can see is the instructions are not clear enough for novices, but with a little rationalising its a doddle.

Emg always good
this is the first passive Emg pickup which i use, they are really great and the solderless system is fantastic, 5 minutes for the pickup swap!

The best bang for the buck
I bought the pickup about a year ago for my Dean Metalman Bass.
Though it doesn't fit perfectly (The EMG is about 1cm too small for the original fitting) it looks better.
The workmansship of the pre-wired humbucker ist quite good.
The pickup sounds way better than the original one. It has a slightly mid boosted tone but doesn't lose any of it's strength in deep end frequencies. High frequencies are rendered a bit more agressive but still clearly.
Changing the pickup also reduced humming and background noises.
The only disatvantage I found out so far is that the blend control has much less influence on the tone than before.
All in all, for less than 60 € the EMG 35 HZ is an outstanding pickup with a nice sound, especially for rock / metal.

Great quality and carity!
This was purchased as a direct replacement for an active pick up and for a passive pick up these sound great, good top end clarity with a decent bottom end as well! I'd definitely recommend these.
