Aguilar Super Split pickups are voiced to deliver rich, fat bass tone with crisp, open treble, barking mids, and massive low end in a classic soapbar format. Super Split pickups feature 42-gauge Formvar wire and Alnico V magnets, and thanks to their split-coil design they're also hum-canceling. Bassists at Sweetwater love the sound of Aguilar Super Splits. They sound great passive, and they can be paired with an onboard preamp such as Aguilar’s OBP-1, 2, or 3 for maximum tonal versatility.Bass-savvy design and inspired engineering

Aguilar bass amplification is respected worldwide for its outstanding tone and reliability. It's the backline of choice for top bassists like John Patitucci, Gary Willis, Tim Lefebvre, and countless others. Aguilar designs gear by conceptualizing it from the musician's perspective and then presses on with inspired engineering. For starters, Aguilar is a team of pro bass players and engineers. In addition to bass heads and cabinets, the company also designs and manufactures preamps and pickups that are standard equipment in many of today's finest basses, as well as effects pedals, so they have a uniquely holistic approach to bass tone. Aguilar gear is built tour-grade tough in New York City, and it's road tested to stand up to hardcore professional (ab)use. For bass players, this is as good as it gets. You simply can't go wrong with Aguilar.
