5-String Original P-Bass – 58SU72
Ultra-deep vintage P-Bass tone for your 5-String P-style bass - excellent for Reggae and SKA
The original Bartolini design gives you the timeless tone that started
it all – full and warm for that vintage voice youve been craving,
enhancing the natural voice of your bass. These split coil pickups are
our deepest, darkest J-Bass set – ideal for ska, reggae, hip-hop. They
have a blade core design, so you dont have to worry about string
alignment. Original Barts 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 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.
