Aguilar DCB-M4 MICRO 4 CORDES DOUBLE CRAMIQUE 4 CORDES

An Aguilar Pickup That Has Become a Reference for Bass

As the leading American manufacturer of high-quality bass pickups, Aguilar offers with the DCB series an approach designed for demanding bassists. Since their release in 2010, Aguilar pickups have established themselves as a new standard for those seeking a true boost in musicality, both in the studio and live, and are adopted by numerous luthiers and bassists worldwide.

For Whom and For What Use?

The DCB-M4 is designed for 4-string "M" format basses and suits musicians who want a clear, defined, and articulate sound as well as those looking for a solid foundation to shape with the instrument's electronics. In passive mode, it already offers excellent balance; with an integrated preamp (OBP-1, 2, or 3), it becomes an ultra-flexible platform to move from vintage-era tones to more modern and punchy sounds.

Dual Ceramic Bar: More Harmonics, More Presence

The strength of the DCB-M4 comes from its dual ceramic bar design, engineered to go beyond traditional "M" style pickups. The result: more harmonic content, a fuller response, and better perception of playing details (attack, right-hand dynamics, finger or pick nuances). Your bass has a voice: make it heard with a pickup capable of translating your intention without smoothing it out.
