WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE AGUILAR HOT JAZZ BASS® PICKUPS?

Aguilar’s hot J pickup offering is an open, balanced hot pickup. We hear a bit more balance in this pickup compared to the Duncan SJB 2 of similar nomenclature. There is a nice round tone to these pickups, that is not common in a ‘hot’ pickup. With both bridge and neck pickup on, the sound is actually fairly polite, likely do to a bit of compression that happens with both pickups. There is notable nice grind in the neck pickup

Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
