Bartolini 9S L/S J-Bass, 4-String, Original, Single Coil Neck & Bridge Set

Full and warm deep vintage tone - True single coil Jazz bass upgrade pickups.

The original Bartolini 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. Even though they are just a single coil, they are still pro-level. The magnetic circuit projects an even field to the strings which gives you a natural voice. They have a blade core design, so you don’t 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.
