Description
The Bartolini X45CBJS-B1 is the bridge-position pickup from the X4-shape soapbar set, purpose-built for 5-string bass players who need low-end authority without losing clarity on top. This is a single-coil design, so it delivers a deeper, more direct tone with strong lows and low-mids while keeping noise in check—no small feat for a single coil.
As part of Bartolini’s Classic Bass series, this pickup is a passive design tuned for a wider, more resonant frequency window. That means you get extra air and top-end definition for cutting through a band mix, but the low-mid punch and thump that make a bass feel like a bass stay fully intact. Each unit is cast in epoxy, which locks out microphonics and unwanted feedback so your tone stays clean at stage volume.
