DETAILS

TONE: The tone of the instrument is the combination of instrument response + pickups + electronics

Instrument response: The response of the instrument varies due to the materials and construction techniques used for the body, neck, bridge and nut. While a neck-through instrument may provide more sustain, a bolt-on provides more harmonic complexity. Listen to the instrument unplugged with your ear to the bass side horn, and consider what you hear. Strong lows? Brilliant highs? How much mid do you hear? This is the instrument response that is available to the pickups and electronics. Consider how much of this spectrum you want in the amplified sound.

Variety: Do you need one particular tone quality or do you want the maximum versatility from your instrument? Our pickups and electronics cover many approaches and tonal requirements from:

Very specific (you want one particular tone quality and only that one will do) to

Very general (you play all styles and change tonal settings all the time)

Active & Passive: All of our pickups are passive, and can be combined with any of our pre-wired pre-amp harnesses for active output. Our “AP” harnesses offer push-pull volume control to select either active or true-bypass passive output.

Pre-Amp Harness Benefits:

Isolates the pickup output so that outboard effects and amps do not dampen the pickup’s output

Offers numerous EQ options and allows both cut and boost to each EQ control

Wired for either 9V or 18V operation, and the jack provides on/off to the battery to maximize battery life

COIL TYPES: These example coil types are available in many of the different shell shapes in the following pages.

Single Coil Dual in-Line Dual Coil

Split Coil Quad Coil

MATCHING THE PICKUP TO YOUR INSTRUMENT: To get the best performance from your choice of our pickups consider:

The shape and size of the pickup you are replacing

The string width at the bridge

The curvature of the fingerboard

See why on our website: www.bartolini.net

PICKUP INSTALLATION: If you do not have experience with electronics or soldering, it is highly recommended that you hire an

expert technician at your local music store to install your pickups and electronics, and learn from what you see, even if you only

get to see the finished product. It takes time to learn to install electronics.

Line drawing dimensions in this catalog are approximately +/- 0.010 inch

It is highly recommended to have on-hand a physical sample before routing an instrument

BASS PICKUPS

TYPES OF BASS PICKUPS:

CLASSIC BASS: The “Classic Bass" (CB) series bass pickups are passive designs featuring an extended and more resonant

frequency range. They have far more "air" and definition at the top without sacrificing lows and low mids. They are cast

in epoxy to remove unwanted feedback and microphonics.

ORIGINAL: The "original series" (O) bass pickups with passive designs. They are cast in epoxy to remove unwanted

feedback and microphonics.
