Aguilar AG 4M 4-string Music Man Style Pickup

 

Here is what Aguilar's blurb says about this great pickup:

 

Features excellent string-to-string balance, consistency of tone and rich harmonic content.

Our M- Style pickups re-create the classic Stingray® tone while adding the characteristics that Aguilar pickups are known for – excellent string-to-string balance and consistency of tone. Wired in parallel, these pickups give players crisp treble, articulate midrange and thunderous lows. The AG 4M Pickup is direct replacements for 4-string Music Man style basses.

Wire: 42-gauge Formvar wire

Magnets: Alnico V

Leads: Single conductor, heat resistant Teflon® coated

 

Here is what I have to say:

This pickup was used in Sandberg instrument which allowed for:

- Series

- Parallel

- Single Coil

 

I bought this pickup to replace the instrument's original Delano unit that I struggled to love. And, oh my word, what a difference it made. Suddenly I felt like I had a 70s Stingray in my hands and yet there was still plenty of high-end on tap to get me into the most modern of modern Ray tones. Thanks to a costly MOT, I had to part with my Sandberg (which I returned to stock) and this pickup is (sadly) surplus to requirements. 

 

It Ray-shaped. 
It's Ray-sounding (but even more so).

And you've got the option to go Parallel/Series/Single Coil. My tech set it up this way so you're not just a slave to the default Parallel mode.
