A great new offering from a great old company.
The only gripe I've had with EMG pickups since the 80's has been the sharp cornes of the enclosures.
So I was thrilled to see the TBTW being offered at last.
Bought a pair to be put in an -09 Epiphone Korina LTD that has seen a way too little playtime.
Not that the original PU's are bad, just nothing exciting ;).
Mind You, these are NOT A DIRECT REPLACEMENT for Epi Explorer or TB IV, something that should be immediately apparent when comparing the listed dimensions and the measurements taken from the pickups.
I don't mind a little bit of filling and routing needed for a good looking fit, but that may be a dealbreaker or at least added expense for some.
The connectors won't fit through the internal passages as-is, so those have to be enlarged as well.
The switch potentiometers are a tight fit on the Explorer control cavity, but do not require routing.
Despite of the recomendations against using BTC-system, the V+V+T(BTC)+balance(ABC) works without a glitch.
The BTC WILL REQUIRE routing to fit into the control cavity.
The somewhat midrangey tone will take some getting used to after 70's vintage PU's on my main bass Herby.
