Punchy and thick voice with great articulation and harmonic content for your 5-String P-style bass.

Bartolini's b-axis P-Bass® Pickups are all about enormous, clear tone. They feature a new and unique fully encapsulated Alnico V exposed pole design, and yet they are still fully shielded like all of their enclosed pickups. The cable is shielded as well.

b-axis pickups are super punchy and bright, but also warm. They have outstanding articulation, attack, and harmonic response. Musicians who play jazz, rock, country, gospel, and hip-hop are already finding their voice in b-axis pickups.

WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE BARTOLINI B AXIS PB BASS PICKUP?

Bartolini’s b-axis offering for P bass is quite interesting. The b-axis PB4 has a really wide frequency feel to it. The pickup has a broader tone than a traditional P, will a little less mid range. Comparing to a couple other outstanding offerings, it has a little more brightness compared with the Nordstrand NP4V, and a bit less low mid push than the LeCompte Triple Threat. Excellent full range pickup.

This demo was done with the 4 string version of the b axis PB pickup. Bartolini is engineering these to sound extremely similar.

Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
