Description
If your 5-string Jazz bass needs its voice back, the Bartolini 57J1-L/LN pair is built for exactly that job. These are the long bridge and long neck versions, sized as a direct-fit replacement for Fender American Vintage 5-string Jazz Bass pickups, so swapping them in doesn’t turn into a routing project.
Tonally, this pair splits the work the way a good J-bass set should. The bridge unit digs out a deep, woody low end that holds together even when you’re pushing five strings through a dense mix, while the neck pickup answers with an open, bright top that keeps your low B from turning to mud and lets your fills cut through without getting harsh. Together they give you that vintage Jazz character — growl on the bridge, punch and clarity on the neck — dialed in for players who need the low string to actually speak.
Both pickups are dual coil, hum canceling designs, so you get quiet performance on stage and in the studio without sacrificing the vintage tone profile Bartolini is known for. They’re finished in black shells only, ready to slot into your existing pickguard routing.
