Aguilar DCB-M5 Dual Ceramic Bar Magnet 5-String MM Bass Pickup

These Aguilar pickups are a game-changer! Thanks to their dual ceramic bar design, they capture far more harmonic content than traditional 'M' style pickups. The bar magnet creates a uniform magnetic field, giving each note an accurate dynamic response. As the string moves back and forth, no information is lost. These pickups sound amazing in passive mode. Or, pair them with an onboard preamp like Aguilar’s OBP - 1, 2, or 3 for ultimate tonal flexibility. Features include 42 gauge Formvar wire, dual ceramic magnets, and single - conductor, heat - resistant Teflon - coated leads.

Using these Aguilar pickups is easy. Just install them on your 5 - string bass guitar according to the standard pickup installation process. You can use them in passive mode right away for a great sound. If you want more tonal options, connect them to an Aguilar onboard preamp. When handling the pickups, be gentle to avoid damaging the leads. Keep them away from strong magnetic fields as this can affect their performance. For maintenance, clean them regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. If you notice any issues with the sound or the leads, it's best to consult a professional technician.
