In order to capture the signature tone of the 70’s Jazz Bass® pickup, we went through a unique prototyping process – sampling and deconstructing several pickups spanning the era to discover what makes them so special. Utilizing both a unique wire size and winding pattern, these pickups are bright and articulate with a clear and punchy low-end perfect for rock, funk, and R&B styles.
Available as a calibrated neck and bridge pickup set, the AG 4J-70 pickups are direct replacements for Jazz Bass® style basses.

Aguilar’s 70s Jazz Bass® pickup set offering has a tight low end than many players will appreciate . These are not as warm as 60s era pickup, but we shouldn’t expect that with 70s tone in mind. Plenty of presence and articulation that should help cut through in a mix without sounding overly-bright
