Description
Drop the BD5CBC-B into your neck position and you get that classic Bartolini foundation: fat, authoritative lows and low-mids paired with a treble response that stays articulate instead of harsh. It’s part of the Classic Bass (CB) series, which reworks the traditional passive formula with an extended frequency range — more air and clarity up top, but without thinning out the bottom end that 5-string players depend on.
This is the BD Soapbar shape, sized for 5-string basses with string spacing up to 72mm at the pickup. Dual coil construction keeps things quiet on stage, and the whole unit is cast in epoxy to kill microphonics and feedback — no unwanted noise creeping into your signal when you’re digging in under stage lights.
For bassists who want a neck pickup that anchors the low B without going muddy, and still cuts through a mix when you roll toward the bridge, this is a solid, road-ready choice.
