Built around Bartolini's popular 9J pickup design, the P252J offers three distinct wiring voices: a big, growling series humbucker, a fat and focused parallel humbucker, and the articulate response of a coil-cut Jazz Bass-style pickup. All three configurations are hum-cancelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor players looking to expand the tonal possibilities of a 5-string bass without changing the familiar soapbar format, the P252J offers an unusually flexible solution. Its blade-style sensing accommodates a range of string spacings, while shielded construction helps keep unwanted noise under control. Bartolini offers separately voiced neck and bridge versions, making it easy to choose the right pickup for your installation or build a complementary pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- BEGIN MANUFACTURER --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-area-white\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFROM THE MANUFACTURER\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBartolini's 2J Squared design combines two passive, hum-cancelling Jazz Bass pickup structures in one soapbar enclosure.
