Aguilar Jazz Bass Pickups

[funkle]

The 70s I like better than the 60s - more hi mids - though I like the HC best of all. I do not like the hot wound pickups, they are too dark.

Thanks JT, I may have found some good contenders for replacing the Barts in my Pedulla Rapture (they are just a little dark for my taste, and not enough hi mids).

I don't like the Aguilar's at all.
Better than stock US jazz pickups but way behind many others Ive tried
They sound generic and soft to me

Get Fralins, best Ive ever tried bar none!
[/quote]yep Lindy Fralins are incredible pickups. Very expensive also.

I'm not really a jazz bass fan, but I enjoyed that video.

For me I'd want the 60's or the HOTS.

Of course until they were under my fingers playing my music it's all without context.
