The Bartolini 8S Original design gives you the timeless tone that
started it all — full and warm for that vintage voice you've been
craving, enhancing the natural voice of your bass. These split-coil
pickups are hum cancelling, so they are well suited for studio or stage.
They have a blade core design, so you dont have to worry about string
alignment. Original Bartolini pickups bring out your voice, low and
clear.

In the early 70s, Bill Bartolini leveraged his deep
knowledge of acoustics to create pickups that produce the most natural,
musical voice from the instrument. He added shielding to block radio
signals and noise. He also developed a method of sealing, isolating and
stabilizing the coils so they could be encapsulated in epoxy to
eliminate microphonics — the nasty noise you get when you touch
typical pickups.
