A Reissue Inspired by 1963-1964 References
Precision-style basses are the origin of this dense and immediately recognizable tone found in nearly every hit of the 60s. To capture this character, Aguilar meticulously studied pickups from 1963 and 1964 belonging to Dave Boonshoft (President of Aguilar) to recreate the balance between attack, roundness, and typical personality of the era.
For Bassists Seeking a True Vintage Tone
The Aguilar AG4P-60 kit is aimed at 4-string bassists who want a solid, organic, and expressive sonic foundation, equally effective in rehearsal and studio. The present mids allow clear audibility in a band, especially in Rock, Soul, vintage Pop genres, and any context where the bass needs to stay firm and singing without becoming aggressive.
Character, Definition, and Modern Compatibility
Designed with components faithful to the period (Heavy Formvar wire, Alnico V magnets), these pickups deliver the expected sound of a 1960s Precision: ample lows, musical upper mids, and a very natural "chest" sensation. They are also perfectly compatible with Aguilar OBP preamps for those who want to maintain a vintage identity while benefiting from modern tone-shaping options.
