Description
Built to Bartolini’s 59CBJD spec, this L1/S1 set gives your 5-string Jazz Bass a genuine upgrade path without demanding any routing surgery. The bridge pickup (L1) uses the ‘long’ coil configuration while the neck (S1) gets the ‘short’ version—exactly the pairing luthiers reach for when a client wants that classic J-Bass layout to actually sound balanced across all five strings, low B included.
Each pickup is a dual, in-line coil design, meaning hum-cancellation is built into the physical layout rather than bolted on as an afterthought. That translates to quiet performance on stage or in the studio, with none of the tonal compromise some hum-cancelling schemes introduce.
Tonally, this is a set that leans into the low mids and delivers real depth—less scoopy-quack, more foundation. If you’ve felt your stock J-pickups thin out under a five-string load, particularly on the B string, this configuration is designed to keep things full and articulate rather than flabby or brittle.
- Fender Jazz Bass (J-Bass) replacement pickup set
- L1 (long) bridge / S1 (short) neck configuration for 5-string layout
- Dual in-line coil design for natural hum-cancellation
- Emphasis on deep tone with strong lows and low-mid presence
- Black cover finish
A trusted choice among players and builders who want their 5-string J-Bass to sound as even and grounded as it feels to play.
