Great pickups!

I purchased a set of these to replace a pair of Aguilar DCB. I really liked the DCB, but the bridge pickup was glitching. My bridge spacing is 16.7 mm. It is adjustable, but I like it narrow.. And since most typical pickups have pole pieces spaced at 18-19 mm, I had to stay within a few choices or pay up for custom spacing. I had good experience with Bartolini many years ago when I built a Warmoth Gecko 5, so that nudged me towards choosing the P25CBC. They have a similar tonality to the DCB, but are clearer. They have more presence. There is also a touch more response in lows and low mids. Brian Ristola was extremely patient and helpful, as I had several questions trying to decide between these and the Nordstrand Zen Blades. The video demos are helpful, but at some point you just have to take a chance. I highly recommend these pickups.

Excellent pickups!

Super versatile, these pickups have alot of tonal seperation when going between series/split/parallel so if you need something that can do everything well and plan to wire them in this way absolutely consider these!

One of my go to standards when building a bass. Consistent, quality and one of my favorite things about these pickups is their low magnetic string pull.

DESCRIPTION

Classic Bass soapbars make you sound better, so you play better. They 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.

Artists: Jahmal Nichols, Kenneth "KayBass" Diggs

WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE BARTOLINI CLASSIC BASS SOAPBAR PICKUPS?

Bartolini fans know Bartolinis for their tight sound and strong low mid range. These pickups are no exception. The Classic Bass Series from Bartolini has a nice even balance. These pickups have more open highs than traditional (Original Series) Bartolinis. The low end is not sacrificed at all and sounds deep while retaining tightness.

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.
