Description
If you love the growl and snap of a classic Jazz Bass but need the extra range a low B string offers, the Bartolini 57CBJS pair bridges that gap without sacrificing character. These are true single-coil pickups, wound and voiced to echo the American Vintage Jazz Bass sound that so many players chase — that scooped mid, punchy attack, and articulate low end that cuts through a mix.
- Single-coil design for authentic vintage Jazz Bass voicing
- Configured for 5-string basses
- Sold as a matched pair (neck and bridge)
- Bartolini build quality for consistent output and tone between units
Because they’re single-coils, expect that open, hum-susceptible character that so many purists actually prefer — it’s part of what gives Jazz Bass pickups their signature bite and touch sensitivity. Swap these into your existing 5-string J-bass build to bring out more definition on the low B without muddying up your tone, and enjoy the interplay between neck and bridge pickup that makes the Jazz Bass platform so versatile in the first place.
A solid choice for players upgrading stock electronics or building out a custom 5-string Jazz-style bass who want that unmistakable vintage single-coil voice.
