BARTOLINI'S NEWEST DESIGN
MADE IN CALIFORNIA
FULL RANGE, ARTICULATE WITH LOTS OF PUNCH
Bartolini's b-axis P-Bass® Pickups are all about enormous, clear tone. They feature a new and unique fully encapsulated Alnico V exposed pole design, and yet they are still fully shielded like all Bartolini's enclosed pickups. The cable is shielded as well.
b-axis pickups are super punchy and bright, but also warm. They are sweat-proof and won’t make nasty noises if you touch them.They have outstanding articulation, attack, and harmonic response. Musicians who play jazz, rock, country, gospel, and hip-hop are already finding their voice in b-axis pickups.
OPEN BOX DEMO ITEM: There is one unit which was opened and installed exclusively for the purpose of making demo videos. This pickup was installed for less than thirty minutes here at the Fat Bass Tone shop.

b-axis PB4 Coil Specs
Bartolini’s b-axis offering for P bass is quite interesting. The b-axis PB4 has a really wide frequency feel to it. The pickup has a broader tone than a traditional P, will a little less mid range. Comparing to a couple other outstanding offerings, it has a little more brightness compared with the Nordstrand NP4V, and a bit less low mid push than the LeCompte Triple Threat. Excellent full range pickup.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.
