Emerson Custom P-Bass 250k Prewired Kit Assembly

The Emerson P-Bass Prewired Assembly is the perfect way to upgrade most American or Imported Precision Bass type guitars. Updated and improved, the Emerson P-Bass kit features CTS hi-spec pots and their exclusive USA-made Paper-in-Oil capacitor for classic vintage tone. It looks so cool, you won't want to put your bass back together.

The Emerson P-Bass wiring kit features:

  • CTS hi-spec 250K solid shaft pots (Some import guitars may require drilling out shaft hole to 3/8")
  • Switchcraft Jack
  • Exclusive Emerson USA-made .047µf Paper-in Oil Capacitor
  • Vintage wiring schematic - Tone capacitor is wired between volume and tone pot
  • Volume treble bleed - Capacitor/Resistor network retains high end clarity as you turn down the volume (no more mud!)
  • Braided shield wiring
  • Instructions

Emerson Prewired kits are unlike anything else on the market. Not content to use off-the-shelf parts, all Emerson kits feature CTS hi-spec pots. These pots have a smooth audio taper, easy turning, and a super-tight tolerance. Many common pots are as much as +/- 20% and you'll really appreciate the full usable sweep these potentiometers
provide.

Emerson now has their own exclusive Paper-in-Oil capacitor. Made to Emerson specifications in the USA, these precision hermetically sealed components combine vintage sound and with modern reliability to maximize your tone. Featuring military-spec tubular construction with sealed glass ends, these components are perfectly sized for both bass and guitar.

This kit has the "Vintage" wiring style in which the tone capacitor is wired between the volume and tone pots rather that grounded directly to the tone pot. The vintage wiring gives great interaction between the volume and tone control, greatly expanding the tonal possibilities (the tone control acts differently depending on where the volume is set). The vintage wiring configuration also results in less tonal loss as volume is reduced.

Featuring expert workmanship and the best available components, Emerson wiring kits produce meaningful results for short money.
