Thanks, Jayme! I ordered a set of these yesterday, thanks to your excellent review. Can't wait to drop them in!!

Just installed these on my Fender Jazz Passive Bass. They sound fantastic!

Love that slap line. Going to learn that one for sure!

this dude just kills it on bass, I need to practice more

My God! That sounds amazing!!!

Did you record the dialogue, shave every hair on your body, then demo the pickups?

Great video Jayme!!! Do you know if these Aguilar pickups have more output than the fender’s custom shop ‘60s?? Thanks!!

Soundin killer, perfect mix too - rumble’s just right and nice and thiccck

I remember this video and took your advice. Put these in two squiers...a VM pbass and a CV jazz. AMAZING. SO GOOD. I think I'll be putting the 5 string model in another Squier VM bass I snagged. Figure it's a cheaper and better option than a new SIRE I've been looking at. Thanks.

Yo Jayme. Happy New year. I have a question. I recently purchased the Aguilar HC picks. I realize that poles on the A & E strings are higher than the rest...is this intensional...if so can u please say why. Also I realize that my G & D strings are lower in volume than other strings...any comments please.

ya man i love the bridge tone i get on these :)

you're very welcome sir!

great demo, thank you! i love aguilar's gear too! which strings did you use?

Thanks for the review. I purchased a set for my 2003 jazz bass since I play at a large church that is live cast every week on KZread and I was turned down the last time I played due to 60 cycle hum. I played these last week and they sounded fantastic. No hum and still tons of low end. I also got quite a few comments on how great my growl sounded. I am a big fam of these 10/10.

Jayme Lewis - The Bassist They were single coil and the stage lighting was causing the big issues. Between the strobe lights, color changing lights, and even electronics from the smoke machine could have been the issue. I move around quite a bit so apparently some areas on stage was much worse. Thanks again my friend and God bless.

this bass is passive but I have the OBP-3 in two other basses. I really dig these HC pups but the 60 are great too :)

The M Bass J is Alder and the P is Ash, I believe. The P position is 60's and both basses are Passive :)

man, i have a squier jazz active v bass, 5 string, im bout to throw in the ob3 pre amp and these pick ups in. go for it!

btw what did you play from 4:15 and on? How did you improvise that? I would love to learn such a Jaco-ish line!

Greetings Jayme. Enjoyed the review. I think I will be dropping a set of Aguilar's AG5J-HC into my Lakland Skyline Joe Osborn after hearing them. I've already added an Audere 3-band preamp. The stock Hansen USA pickups are OK, but I miss the sweetness that I heard in your demo--probably because the Aguilar's are a bit lower in output. Anyway--thanks again.

Hey, great work! On question: which Scales do you use from 4:27-4:28 and 4:35-4:37, sounds like Jazz/Fusion! Would be nice, if you answer! :)

Thanks man! I use D'Addario nickel wound :)

Hey! What woods is your Mbass made of? And the P-up position is '60-s or '70-s? Is this bass passive? Thanks!

Just one more question: Which Scale(s) do you use in the Intro 0:00 - 0:05? :) Really enjoyed your Multiple Pentatonic Over One Chord and Chromatic Pentatonic Video! You're teaching quite well!

i have not but i'll certainly check it out :) thanks!

is the a preamp is the bass by any chance?

I'd say go for it!

awesome, where can I get it? on you website? or will it be kind of a youtube video tutorial? Just love it! But its hard for me to learn it by ear...

Are you using an aguilar pre-amp too? i'm about to buy a mexican Fender Jazz Bass, wich is a little noisy bass and i was thinking on using the AG-4J-HC or maybe the AG-4J-60 what do you suggest???

I've found *My Pickup* made by another high-end company, but they'd be useless without my *Aguilar OBP-3SK/PP* 3-band Active-/Passive Preamp so I can certainly attest to their quality! 👍🏼

No, beacause of the 16th notes and the nice use of major scales in the groove... At least, I recognize some Jaco infuence...

Jay the Wizard Yes, Maas was correct. It keeps the open string overtones from ringing out while I'm really laying into the bass. I like it for slap and tap passages :)

Just Jaco because it's bridge pickup fingerstyle? Odd.

Hi. Have you ever tried out ..... wildepickups dot co.. ? Maybe interesting. As Bill Lawrence is one of the great pickup makers besides Leo Fender and other greats. Bill Lawrence was responsible for quite some Gibson pickups...

ya i guess it's more of a demo huh?

Its bollox you willl NEVER get the same tone from a HC that you can get from a single coil.Might sound ok on a YT vid, but believe me you will never get any HC from any company to sound like a single coil jazz bass pup.
