Bartolini Classic Bass (CB) Series Pickups

5 String Bass Pickups

"Classic Bass" CB series bass pickups are passive designs featuring an extended and more resonant frequency range. They have far more "air" and definition at the top without sacrificing lows and low mids. They are cast in epoxy to remove unwanted feedback and micro-phonics. They are available as dual coil humbuckers in the wider soapbar shapes and, as single coils or as in-line hum canceling dual coils in the narrower shapes. CNC machined blades on all of the 5 string bass pickups listed below allow them to cover a very wide range of string widths on medium curvature fingerboards with excellent string balance.
For soapbar pairs -B is the Bass/neck/front pickup and -T is the Treble/bridge/rear pickup.
