With traditional single-coil pickups, bassists are plagued by hum when the neck and bridge pickups are at different volume levels. While other hum-canceling pickups tackle the noise, you are left with thinner lows, a harsher midrange and a lack of dynamics.
The Aguilar hum-canceling pickups feature a split-coil design that allows you to get any pickup level combination without 60-cycle hum â all while retaining the natural, organic tone of your bass. Now you can experience the deep, resonant low-end of the neck pickup or solo the bridge pickup for that sought-after midrange cut without annoying hum! Wound in Aguilarâs NYC factory, the HC pickups are wound to have the big, dynamic tone that Aguilar pickups are known for.
Wire: 44 gauge, polyester-nylon wire
Magnets: Alnico V
Leads: Single conductor, heat resistant Teflon coated.

Aguilarâs HC series for Jazz BassÂź aim to give a full range, organic tone. These do not have any real âpeaksâ in the spectrum to our ears. Bass/Mids/Treble are fairly even throughout. Solid in any genre, and great on stage as these are hum-cancelling.
Note...Sonically, this video is specifically representative of the 4 string version. The 5 string version will be similar, but cannot be exact since the 5 string uses coils of a larger size in each pickup shell - this 4 string version is an approximation of tone for the 5 string version.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.
