The Bartolini BC5CBC Classic Bass soapbar combines Bartolini's rich, deep low-end character with strong high-end clarity and warmth. When you dig in, it responds with a growly, articulate voice; when you pull back, it stays clear and sweet. The Classic Bass series also handles slap and pop playing well, making it a versatile option for players who need both warmth and definition.
The BC5CBC is a passive 5-string BC-shape soapbar with a dual parallel humbucking design. Bartolini's focused magnetic aperture and ceramic-powered magnetic circuit help deliver strong articulation without sacrificing low-end response.
Choose the BC5CBC-B for the neck position or the BC5CBC-T for the bridge position. Bartolini offers separate neck and bridge versions so they balance well together in your bass.

Bartolini Classic Bass soapbars have a rich, deep voice with plenty of high-end clarity and warmth. When you dig in, they are responsive and growly. When you pull back, they become clear and sweet. They also retain the articulation needed for slap and pop playing.
The Classic Bass series is especially popular with progressive, jazz, gospel, and metal players where articulation is critical. The strong high-end definition does not come at the expense of the low end, so the pickup retains the depth and warmth associated with Bartolini.
Classic Bass pickups are also sweat-proof and designed to avoid the crackle and thud that can occur when pickups are touched or struck by the strings.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience can vary depending on your bass, strings, electronics, amplification, setup, and playing style.
