Bartolini P24CBC-T 4-String Classic Bass P2 Soapbar Bridge Pickup

Bartolini P24CBC-T 4-String Classic Bass P2 Soapbar Bridge Pickup

The Bartolini P24CBC-T is the bridge-position version of Bartolini's Classic Bass P2 soapbar for 4-string basses. It brings the rich, deep Classic Bass voice to the longer P2 housing, combining strong low-end response with high-end clarity, warmth, and excellent articulation.

The matching P24CBC-B neck pickup is also available separately in our Reverb store.

DESCRIPTION

The Bartolini P24CBC-T brings the versatile Classic Bass voice to the long P2 soapbar shape for 4-string basses with wider string spacing. It delivers a rich, deep voice with plenty of high-end clarity and warmth. Dig in and the pickup responds with a growly character; pull back and it stays clear and sweet.

The P24CBC-T is a passive dual-coil humbucking pickup with a focused magnetic aperture. Its combination of strong low-end response and articulation makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of playing styles, including progressive, jazz, gospel, metal, slap, and pop.

Because the pickup itself is passive, it can be used with passive controls or paired with an onboard preamp, depending on your bass and desired electronics configuration.

This listing is specifically for the P24CBC-T bridge pickup. If you're building a complete set, we also stock the matching P24CBC-B neck pickup separately in our Reverb store. Bartolini offers dedicated neck and bridge versions designed to balance well together.

WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE BARTOLINI P24CBC-T?

Bartolini Classic Bass soapbars have a rich, deep voice with plenty of high-end clarity and warmth. When you dig in, they are responsive and growly. When you pull back, they become clear and sweet. They also retain the articulation needed for slap and pop playing.

The Classic Bass series is especially well suited to progressive, jazz, gospel, metal, and other styles where articulation is important. The strong high-end clarity does not sacrifice the low end, giving you a versatile combination of depth, warmth, and definition.

The P24CBC-T is a strong option for players who want that Classic Bass character in the longer P2 format, with a dedicated bridge winding designed to balance with the matching P24CBC-B neck pickup.

As always, descriptions of pickup tone are generalizations. Your experience can vary depending on your bass, strings, electronics, amplification, setup, and playing style.
