"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.

"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!
