Hoppo75 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi all. Has anyone upgraded to these? I'm looking to upgrade my Jazz, with Fralins, Delanos and Nordstrand making the shortlist. I'd like to see if anyone has used them before I discount them. Cheers folks, Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblin Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Not got my own, but I tried their 'Hum Cancelling Series Jazz Bass Set' today in a 5 string MIA Jazz, and they sounded absolutely amazing. Nice and clear, VERY punchy with a nice sound. Not cheap at £199 for 4 strings / £229 for 5 strings, but if I want to transform a Jazz, I'd be certainly going for them.

Cheers folks, Drew [/quote] I replaced the Quarter pounder in my Nate Mendel Precision with the AG 4P-60. It's amazing and at £115 delivered, a real great price for such a big improvement. It's way more traditional in tonal terms than the quarter pounder. It's fatter sounding, still has clank and clarity with the tone knob on but has a much more old school (less aggressive) precision sound as the foundation. Apparently this comes from the materials (heavy formvar wire, Alnico V magnets) which were selected to replicate the sound of the original fender 60s precision pickups that were in Aguilar President Dave Boonshoft original '63 and '64 precisions. Having owned (and tried!) a fair few pickup upgrades from EMG, Nordstrand, Wizard, Lindy Fralin, Delano etc, the Aguilar are my personal favourite by some way!
