EMG BQS System 2-Pickup 5-Knob 3-Band Vol - Bl - Treb - Bass - Mid/Mid Stack

Control Configuration

1. Volume
2. Blend
3. Treble
4. Bass
5. Mid/Mid Stack

The BQS System, as a complete control system for your bass guitar, includes Active Balance, Master Volume, and EQ circuits. Unlike the BQC, the BQS System comes with separate bass and treble posts, so you’ll have separate control over bass, midrange, and treble.

The variable frequency knob on the midrange control allows you to select the frequency to boost or cut by sweeping through the mid-frequency range from 100Hz to 1KHz.

The Active Balance control is designed specifically for EMG Active Pickups and allows for a loss-free balance between two pickups. The control comes with convenient center detents to let you know when no equalization is in effect.
