Whether you are looking for period-correct vintage flavors or the most modern tones; Aguilar has the pickup for your bass. Our pickups provide excellent string-to-string balance and consistency of tone throughout the entire range of your bass. The dynamic range of our pickups allows for a quick transient attack that responds to your playing style. And this tone is not limited to active-only instruments – with or without a preamp; you will get the deep lows, articulate midrange and sweet treble response that are the benchmarks of the Aguilar sound.
 
The Aguilar 5J-60 pickups are designed to have both clarity and warmth and will reproduce all of the dynamics and nuances in your playing.

These pickups are modeled after a set of mid 60’s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups and use all the period-correct parts, including Heavy Formvar wire and Alnico V magnets. Aguilar developed a proprietary winding pattern to give these pickups great string-to-string consistency while sounding full and articulate. The pickups complement any bass and are a great match with Aguilar’s OBP on-board preamps.
