"Years ago I purchased a used Yamaha BB-NE1 bass guitar in addition to my other BB-NE2’s. I put Bartolini’s in the NE1 and soundwise this was a total game changer for me. The sound I was always searching for. Bartolini’s are the perfect match to my sound. They have the „growl“ that cuts right through the mix, but also deliver the treble and character I want. The best PUs on the market in my opinion."
"I've been playing Basses with Bartolini Pickups for over 40 years!! This has been a 40 year Love Affair"
"Bartolini always impress me with how they bring out the true sound of the instrument without ‘colouring’ it too much. I’m a huge fan of the clarity and warmth of the tone, particularly for fretless - and they cut through the mix like a knife. I play and teach a lot of different genres and the versatility of the pickups is just incredible"
"I’ve been using Bartolini Pickups since the ’90s. I've owned many instruments in my life, but Bartolini has been a mainstay. 98% of my bass collection (Over 30 basses I have in my studio) have Barts. I Love Barts because of their punchy, fast, straight, understandable, bright sound."
"My passion for Bartolini started 25 years ago when I played on a bass belonging to Nico Assumpção, equipped with 2 Bartolini Soapbars. Bartolini are a very important part of my tone that I've shaped over all these years! I really need the Bart's on all my basses..
"Since I started playing bass I had a precise sound in mind. Thanks to Bartolini I’ve found the tone I've always been looking for. Bartolini Pickups and Electronics give my basses the definition and the power I need in my music.
Simply amazing!!!"
" I’ve always loved Bartolini pickups! They do exactly what I tell them to do., They deliver my tone with a warm growl. Best pickups to fuel any bass!!"
"All of my basses have Bartolini pickups and electronics. I love the versatility and the tone of them. Music is my most important expression way and Barts make my “bass voice” loud and clear for the audience."
"Bartolini brings BEEF to the Bass. Years ago I had an Ibanez bass and the tone didn't work for what I was trying to do, so I went to a friend and he gave me some Bartolini Pickups and pre-amp to go in my bass. I took it to one of the techs in Houston and have been in love with them every since."
"The number one reason I use Bartolini is "TONE." I have always searched for the perfect tone to use in the studio and on stage. Bartolini electronics bring out the best tones in my Basses so I can just concentrate on playing.
During my very first recording session the engineer and I were trying to get the perfect funk tone out of my bass. It just was not possible. So he called a friend that had a Fender Jazz loaded with Bartolini pickups. We immediately found 'The Tone' and proceeded to record 6 tracks in about 3 hours time. The tracks were Fat with an extra crisp pop and sat just right in the mix."

"You have not played with the best unless you’ve played with Bartolini pickups! They are by far the best sounding pickups I’ve ever had the pleasure of using on my bass guitars! I love the overall tone, but am a huge fan of the clarity of each note when playing through my Bartolini pickups.” - Jesse James (bass player for Hindsight)"
