Aguilar Amplifications is rolling out the AG 4J-HC and AG 5J-HC this month.The new pair of hum-canceling pickup sets will be direct replacement drop-ins for 4 and 5-string Fender Jazz and other J-style basses.
And we are celebrating the new addition to the catalog here at Best Bass Gear by giving away a set of the AG 4J-HC pickups.
You’ve probably faced the dilemma of deciding between using traditional single-coil or hum canceling pickups.
With the traditional set might give you the tone that you are looking for, but they’ve got that awful hum when the neck and bridge pickups are at different volume levels.
Other sets of hum-canceling pickups can nix that noise, but in the process your tone takes a hit. Your lows get thinner, the midrange gets harsher, and your sound just isn’t where you want it to be.
Thanks to the split-coil design of the 4J-HC and 5J-HC you can play with whatever volume level combination you need to without that unwanted hum, and without wrecking your natural tone.
You’ll still have those thick thunderous lows from your neck pickup, and a great midrange cut from your bridge pickup, at any mix, without the hum.
They are wound in Aguilar’s New York City factory using 42 guage Formvar wire, and have Alnico V magnets, giving you the large and lively tone you expect from Aguilar.
The AG 4J-HC and AG 5J-HC retail at $249 and $289, but head on over to Best Bass Gear today and order the 4J-HC for just $189 and the 5J-HC for $219.
I’d like to hear more!
