Kent Armstrong UK Handwound Aria Pro Replacement Pickup - Resin Cast

Whilst The Aria basses were great to play they had one major draw back, the pickups inevitably failed over time and because of this over the years we have made hundreds of replacements. Internally we can vary the specifications to whatever you desire. These our some of our best-selling replacements:

Original "Beefed up" - The specification is similar to the original MB-1's but we have "beefed it up" a little bit as the originals were a little lacking in "eumph".

Quad stereo option allows for all sorts of fun and games, whether you're looking to split the pairs off to separate channels and play about with them or if you simply want to be able to switch between

Music Man coil options - this pickup can do it all, very versatile. This Music Man style replacement is very popular with essentially 2 jazz bass spec coils laid out in the Music Man style, powerful and punchy, this will transform your Aria.
