An Aguilar Pickup Set Focused on Performance and Musicality
The Soapbar Super Doubles is aimed at bassists seeking a modern, immersive, and clean sound without sacrificing the instrument's character. Designed for 5-string basses, this kit emphasizes faithful reproduction of playing nuances: sharp finger attacks, snapping slap, and well-defined pick playing, with great stability in the low end.
For Which Bassists and Contexts?
Whether you're rehearsing, on stage, or tracking direct in the studio, these pickups excel whenever you need definition and immediate clarity in the mix. They are especially suited for bassists who switch between multiple genres (funk, rock, metal, gospel, pop, fusion) and want to maintain a solid sonic identity from one track to another.
Clarity, Dynamics, and Compatibility: The "Super Doubles" Spirit
The Super Doubles design aims for tonal richness and exceptional clarity, highlighting a consistent response across all 5 strings, including the low B string. The Type D2 configuration facilitates integration on basses designed for this format, while delivering a versatile sound: deep but controlled lows, present mids to cut through the mix, and clean highs to bring out playing details.
