CLASSIC BASS TONE = DEEP LOWS AND PRESENT TOP END
Classic Bass series upgrade pickups have a rich, deep voice with lots of high-end clarity and warmth. When you dig in, they are responsive and growly. When you pull back, they are clear and sweet. And they’ll take any slapping and popping you want to give them. The Classic Bass series is popular with progressive, jazz, gospel, and metal musicians where articulation is critical. Without sacrificing low-end, Classic Bass pickups are sweat-proof and won’t crackle and thud when you touch them or hit them with the strings.If you play a wide variety of music, you know you need some pro-level pickups, but you don’t want to do a big upgrade project, Classic Bass pickups are a great choice. They are passive and will work with your current electronics in most basses.
There are different versions for neck (Bass, -B) and bridge (Treble, -T) so they balance well in your bass.

The pickups sound good. If you are looking for the modern thunderbird sound with more output these Barts will get you there. Unfortunately I couldn't get over the size. These pickups are smaller than I expected so the gaps were large and noticeable. I swapped them out for EMGs and couldn't be happier.
