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.
Available as a calibrated neck and bridge pickup set, the AG 4J-60 pickups are direct replacements for Jazz Bass® style basses.
**The Neck pickup for sale is from a Set and comes in the packaging for a Set. This pickup is brand new and is not a "Returned Pickup."
**Sorry international bassists, but US Dealers are not authorized to ship Aguilar pickups outside of the US.

Aguilar’s 60s era j bass pickups offer tight mid range, and a slightly rawer tone than some of the other 60s era pickups. The low end is warmer, without being too tight….there is a comfortable looseness to the low end that gives a good thickness to the tone.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
