The AG 4 and 5M humbucking pickups
recreate the classic Stingray® tone while
adding all of the characteristics that Aguilar
pickups are known for – excellent string-to-string balance, consistency of tone and
rich harmonic content. These pickups are wired in parallel to give players crisp
treble, articulate midrange and thunderous lows. Paired with an onboard preamp,
such as Aguilar’s OBP-1, 2 or 3, and bassists’ will have the ultimate in tonal flexibility.
Like all Aguilar pickups, the AG
4 and 5M pickups are wound
in Aguilar’s NYC factory. They
feature 42-gauge Formvar wire
and Alnico V magnets and are a
direct replacement for this style
of humbucking pickup.
The AG 4M and AG 5M pickups
will be available in March 2014.
The AG 4M will carry a street
price of $109.00 while the AG 5M
will street for $119.00.
Since their release in 2010, Aguilar pickups have become the new standard for
exceptional bass guitar pickups. Providing the rich, musical tone that Aguilar gear
is known for, Aguilar pickups are used by top luthiers and bass players the world
over. Whether you are looking for period-correct vintage flavors or the most modern
tones; Aguilar has the pickup for your bass.
Your bass has a voice, let it be heard.
Aguilar pickups are used by many famous bass players
including Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, NIN,
and many others), Tony Grey (Hiromi), James Cook
(Luke Bryan) and Janek Gwizdala (Mike Stern).
