Description
If you’re chasing that low-B growl without turning your top strings to mud, the Bartolini MK5CBC-B deserves a look. This dual coil humbucker is shaped specifically for the Cort Curbow soapbar cavity, so it’s a drop-in fit for players routing or replacing pickups on that platform’s neck position.
Bartolini’s Classic Bass series was built around one idea: give passive pickups more air on top without thinning out the low end that makes a bass feel like a bass. The MK5CBC-B delivers powerful lows and low-mids with a bright, articulate treble response — useful whether you’re locking in with a kick drum or cutting through a busy mix for a fill.
Under the hood, the coils are cast in epoxy, which keeps unwanted feedback and microphonics out of the signal, even at stage volume with your rig cranked. That’s the kind of detail that matters when you’re relying on this pickup night after night, not just on the bench.
- Cort Curbow shape soapbar, neck position
- Dimensions: 4.24″ / 107.57mm long, 1.33″ / 33.66mm wide
- Dual coil humbucker design
- Passive Classic Bass series voicing — extended, resonant frequency range
- Epoxy-cast construction to eliminate feedback and microphonics
A solid pick for 5-string players rebuilding a Curbow-style bass or chasing that extended low end with real top-end definition.
