Description
If you’re running a 5-string J-bass and want the low B to sit tight instead of turning to mush, the Bartolini 59S72-L/S pair is worth a look. This is a matched neck/bridge set designed specifically for 5-string basses, giving you the punchy, articulate voice Bartolini is known for while keeping the extended range defined and usable in a mix.
These are single-coil J-bass style pickups, so expect that familiar bite and midrange snap that cuts through live without sounding harsh or brittle. Bassists who like to dig in and feel the string respond under their fingers will appreciate how these translate touch dynamics — from a light groove to a hard slap attack — without flattening out the tone.
- Matched 5-string neck and bridge pickup set (L/S configuration)
- J-bass style single-coil design
- Built for players who need clean, defined low-B response
- Bartolini construction and tone character throughout
Whether you’re rebuilding a workhorse gig bass or upgrading a 5-string that’s never quite had the low-end focus you wanted, this pair is a straightforward way to get there. Currently included in our Black Friday Sale pricing, so it’s a good time to grab a set if your bass has been asking for new pickups.
