Description
Bridge position is where a bass pickup earns its keep — it’s the voice that cuts through a mix and holds down the low end when the band gets loud. The BD5CBC-T brings Bartolini’s Classic Bass design to that job, delivering powerful lows and low-mids paired with a bright, open treble that doesn’t get muddy under drive or compression.
This is a BD Soapbar shaped pickup, measuring 3.94″ / 100.00mm long by 1.42″ / 36.07mm wide, and it’s built for players running 5-string setups with up to 72mm of string spacing at the pickup. The dual coil construction gives you that dependable humbucking foundation bassists rely on for quiet stages and hot amps alike.
What sets the Classic Bass series apart is the frequency range — these passive pickups are voiced to breathe more at the top end, adding air and definition without thinning out the fundamental low-end character bass players actually want. You get more shimmer on the highs while the lows and low-mids stay full and present, so the tone feels bigger and more three-dimensional without losing weight.
Every Classic Bass pickup is cast in epoxy, which locks the coils down tight to kill unwanted feedback and microphonic noise — a real advantage once you’re standing in front of a loud rig on a small stage.
