Aguilar AG 5J-70 70s Era 5-string Jazz Bass Guitar Pickup Set

Aguilar embarked on a unique prototyping journey to capture the iconic 70’s Jazz Bass pickup tone. By sampling and deconstructing numerous pickups from that era, they unlocked the secrets behind their special sound. These pickups use a distinct wire size and winding pattern, delivering a bright and articulate sound with a clear, punchy low - end. Ideal for rock, funk, and R&B music styles. The wire is 42 - gauge enamel, the magnets are Alnico V, and the leads are single - conductor and cloth - covered.

Using these Aguilar pickups is easy. Just install them in your 5 - string Jazz bass guitar according to the standard installation guide. When playing, you'll notice the bright and punchy sound right away. For different music styles, you can adjust your playing technique to get the best out of these pickups. For rock, you can play with more force for a powerful sound. For funk, a lighter touch will bring out the articulate tone. As for maintenance, keep your guitar and pickups clean. Use a soft cloth to wipe them down after each use. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can affect their performance. And be careful when handling the leads to prevent any damage.
