Aguilar DCB-M5 MICRO 5 CORDES DOUBLE CRAMIQUE 5 CORDES

An Aguilar Pickup That Has Become a Reference for Electric Bass

Since their release in 2010, Aguilar pickups have established themselves as a standard for those seeking a bass sound that is rich, musical, and usable in real-world situations. The DCB-M5 fits within this lineage, alongside the DCB-M4 (4-string) and DCB-M5 (5-string) versions, featuring a sonic signature capable of satisfying both demanding luthiers and touring bassists.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

The DCB-M5 is aimed at musicians who want to bring out the personality of their instrument without losing definition: tight grooves, articulate slap, very clear modern lines, or rounder, more "vintage" tones depending on your amp settings and playing style. In passive configuration, it offers a complete tone; paired with an onboard preamp, it becomes an ideal platform to sculpt your EQ and gain flexibility on stage as well as in the studio.

Double Ceramic Bar: Harmony, Balance, and Extended Response

Thanks to its double ceramic bar design, the DCB-M5 captures more harmonic content than a more traditional "M" style pickup. The result: a broader response, solid low end, present mids, and detailed highs, all while maintaining excellent balance between the strings. If your bass has a voice, this pickup is designed to project it clearly, with a sound that is both modern, rich, and musical.
