Description
Not every 5-string Jazz bass came with pickups worth keeping. If your instrument shipped with those China-made G&B non-standard J-pickups, this Bartolini Classic Bass COJ pair is the drop-in fix — sized specifically for Overwater and MTD Kingston Lynn Keller 5-strings, and voiced to actually make the bass feel like an instrument instead of a placeholder.
The Classic voice leans into extended treble response and a narrower aperture, which translates to real articulation instead of mud or harsh edge. Dig into the strings and you get growl; roll back and it cleans up sweet and clear. Slap and pop players get the same treatment — no breakup, no crackle, no thud when the strings hit the poles. It’s the kind of tonal range that jazz, gospel, progressive, and metal bassists lean on when clarity under pressure actually matters.
Under the hood, these are dual inline-coil pickups — hum-cancelling even when you solo just the neck or just the bridge, so you’re covered whether you’re tracking in a quiet studio or standing in front of a wall of amps. They’re fully passive, wired with shielded coaxial hot-core cable, and drop into your existing electronics without a rewiring project. Sweat and stage abuse won’t cause noise issues either.
