EMG PX Comparison
One of EMG’s original designs and our most popular bass pickup since its introduction in 1979; the EMG P covers a wide sonic palette of classic and modern bass sounds. Because the P utilizes ceramic magnets coupled with short, squat coils, the tone has brilliant high-end articulation, warmth, and incredible low end punch.
Inspired by the original EMG P pickup, the PCS is a smoother alternative to EMG’s original P pickup, the PCS utilizes ceramic and steel bar magnets for a tone that delivers a modern punch with a rich low-end and more balanced highs than the original P. Harness the power of steel and hear for yourself what makes the PCS a great and versatile choice for many musical styles.
The PA pickup is based on the originals EMG P but utilizes Alnico V magnets instead of ceramic. This gives the PA a warmer tone that has more vintage character. Because the PA utilizes Alnico V magnets coupled with short, squat coils, the tone is open, rich, and has less noise than most stock P bass pickups. For those who seek an active P pickup with a more vintage tone, the PA is a natural choice.
The X series preamp gives the pickup a more dynamic range along with increased headroom while keeping the more traditional string-to-string balance. X series pickups also come with an Active Tone Control (VLPF) designed to roll-off (attenuate) high frequencies, similar to a typical passive tone control. The result is a noiseless pickup with a classic EMG sound that bridges the gap between active and passive.

    Ah, some of us don’t care about resale value. Some buy a bass and actually keep it. The HB MM-84A SB is a really nice bass for the price. Comes in at $169!.00! What’s nice is it has 24 frets and two massive humbuckers! Another is the B-450 QTB. Different colors in this series. Again 24 frets and good wood for the body, neck and fretboard. Sounds extremely good and comes in at $159.00 If you’re strapped for cash, these are good options.

      Hi Helena, Dave here - I personally have one of the 210s and it sounds great at lower volumes, so I can't assume the 212 would be bad; if I remember right Nick chose the 212 after this comparison vid - I'll see if I can get ahold of him for his input.
