The Bartolini H65CBC Classic Bass soapbar has a rich, deep voice with plenty of high-end clarity and warmth. When you dig in, it is responsive and growly; with a lighter touch, it stays clear and sweet. The extended frequency response and strong articulation also make the Classic Bass series well suited for slap and pop playing.
The H65CBC is a 5-string H6 soapbar designed as an upgrade for Ibanez BTB and SR basses using BH-1 or MK-2 shape pickups. It is a passive dual-coil humbucking pickup and will work with the existing electronics in most basses.
Choose the H65CBC-B for the neck position or the H65CBC-T for the bridge position. The neck and bridge versions are designed to 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 respond with a growly character. Pull back and they become clear and sweet. They also retain the articulation needed for slap and pop playing.
The Classic Bass voice maintains a strong low end while providing the clarity and definition that make it particularly well suited to progressive, jazz, gospel, metal, and other styles where articulation is important.
Compared with Bartolini's more traditional voicings, the Classic Bass series is a great choice for players looking for a versatile pickup that can cover a wide variety of music while retaining the warmth and low-end response associated with Bartolini.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on your instrument, strings, electronics, amplification, setup, and playing style.
