Aguilar Super Doubles VS Aguilar DCB VS Seymor Duncan NYC

[ValeriusCrow]

Hello, guys, I'm almost ready to drop an order on 5-string Jazz Bass-like instrument w/ humbackers, but I'm pretty confused with pickups choice.

I definetely love the sound of Aguilar DCB's, but there are pretty interesting pups (and TBH better looking from aesthetic perspective) such as Super Doubles and Seymour's NYC, so I'd like to hear those who tried at least a pair of those. Thanks!

P. S.: Also - I saw a few builds with different combinations of Aggies (like Super Single in neck and DCB in bridge) - if anyone had experienece I'd be happy to hear about results.

Did you ever make a decision?

After a few sound and tone checks, and pairing with a Mike Pope Flexcore 4band preamp. Here is my finished project.

That looks Great! I have DCB's on my Mayones and love them. But I do like the look of the Super Doubles a lot though.
