aldude Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) This P bass pickup is now surplus to requirements. It's the regular 8S version, original series. Blurb from Bartolini says: "deep, smooth tone with lots of lows and low mids." These pickups have been installed in my Fender PJ (Aerodyne), used for one practice then taken out. So, they are practically new. Price dropped to £75 posted. Bargain!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for looking! [attachment=97469:bart1.JPG] Edited January 30, 2012 by aldude
ChrisTheNinja Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Hi, I'm looking at getting some of these, out of interest why did you take them out? Cheers
aldude Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 I have another Bartolini bass, so I love Bart pickups, but I'm in the mood to experiment with some other ones. In other words, I got GAS
cd_david Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 In comparison to standard P pick ups how dO they sound and is it passive?
aldude Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 It worked just fine in my passive jazz bass! Not sure how it compares with the original P pickup as I didn't really pay much attention to it. But my vague memory says the Bart sounds a bit cleaner and probably a bit scooped as well, i.e. a bit deeper and brighter. All depends on the pickup that you've got now though really!
tografox Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Hi, Is the Bart 8S P pickup still for sale? if so, please PM me as I'm looking d=for a set and was about to order them from Best Bass Gear. Let me know either way if you can. Cheers.
