Pickups, Pickups, Pickups!

Can you guess the topic of our latest post? So as many of you may already know Sage has had a wonderful relationship with Aero pickups and it's founder Larry Pollack over the years. Aero's have long been a top shelf option on all our basses, offering what we consider the ultimate in an uncolored voice of our basses. Pickups that let your bass's voice speak clearly. There's a little magic in these babies, and we always wished every Sage came equipped with them. After hours of long talks on construction topics from pole-pieces, to windings, and more now they do. The standard Sage pickup will be based on a single coil design that won Aero a "Top Tone" award by Bass Player Magazine, but with a few tweaks here and there. We will of course still offer the Aero humbuckers we have always used in the past as an upgrade. In a world of cheaper, faster, better it's really nice to know we're adding something that is boutique quality to all our basses, a micro brew if you will. Stay tuned for more info and pics on this topic.
