Aguilar Introduces HOT Series Precision and Jazz Bass Pickups
Aguilar has introduced a new set of pickups called the HOT series. The Hot P and Hot J pickups act as direct replacements for 4-string Fender P-Bass and Jazz pickups but feature larger, 16mm magnets and an over-wound design. The result is a hotter output that Aguilar says adds a big and loud tone while retaining the grit and nuance.
The Aguilar HOT Series pickups are built in Aguilar’s New York City factory, and will be available February 15th with a to-be-determined price point. For more info, check out the Aguilar website.
Aguilar HOT Series Pickups Specs:
- Wire: 42 gauge heavy Formvar wire
- Magnets: 16MM Alnico V
- Cable: Single conductor, cloth-covered
