Bartolini 58SU 72mm 5-String P-Bass Pickup

Description

Five-string P-Bass players know the struggle: find a split-coil that can handle that low B without turning to mud, but still cuts through when you dig in. The Bartolini 58SU is built for exactly that job. Wound for the wider 72mm string spacing, it delivers a smooth, silky low end with generous low-mid warmth, then still opens up into a bright, vibrant top when you need the note to speak.

• Designed specifically for 5-String Precision Bass builds
• 72mm pole spacing, suited for string widths from 66mm to 72mm
• Smooth tone voicing with enhanced lows and low-mids beyond a standard P pickup
• Bright, articulate upper register keeps the pickup from getting lost in the mix
• Housed in a black shell

This isn’t a pickup that just extends a 4-string voice down a string — Bartolini engineered the 58SU to push more low-end authority than the original P design, so your low B actually feels like part of the band instead of a rumble underneath it. Whether you’re locking in on a reggae groove, holding down a gospel set, or laying foundation for a rock band, this pickup gives you the weight to be felt and the clarity to be heard.

Drop it into your 5-string P-Bass build or swap out a tired stock pickup, and get a split-coil voice that finally does justice to that fifth string.
