Details

This is a great sounding pickup; not totally vintage, not totally modern - but sitting solidly in a great spot between both.

I bought this pickup based on the demo at Fat Bass Tone, which represents it fairly and accurately:




Output is a little higher than a stock P- bass pickup, but nothing extreme - DC resistance is just over 9k; it’s neither super bright or overly dark - just fat and punchy.

There’s visible play-wear on the surface, and a mounting screw left a groove on the treble side - but the bobbin is sealed in epoxy, making this pickup almost immune to dust and moisture.

Approximately 7” of wire left - plenty to get into most electronics cavities.

$80 shipped in CONUS; PayPal welcome.

I still love the sound of this pickup & won't be mad if I end up keeping it.

But both of my P basses were converted to "double-reverse P" configuration, and it's been really tricky to find two pickups that work well together.

It's taken roughly a dozen pickup swaps to find combinations that I really like - and the Aguilar DCB really deserves to be the star of its own show.
