Description
If your P-J bass needs a pickup swap, this is the exact pairing Bartolini itself points to. The set combines the 8SU in the neck/P position with the 9J-L1 Long in the bridge, giving you a matched pair built specifically for Fender-style P-J routing rather than a mismatched mix of parts.
- 8SU P-Bass pickup for the neck position
- 9J-L1 Long Jazz Bass bridge pickup
- Passive circuitry — no preamp or battery required
- Epoxy-potted construction to suppress microphonics and unwanted feedback
- Part of Bartolini’s Original Series lineup
Both pickups are cast solid in epoxy, which locks the coil windings in place so they stay quiet even under stage volume, heavy attack, or aggressive EQ boosts. That potting also makes them far less prone to squealing or ringing than open-coil vintage-style designs, which matters a lot once you start pushing gain or standing near a monitor.
Because these are passive units, there’s no preamp, no battery, and no extra wiring headaches beyond a standard pickup swap — just drop them in and you’re working with Bartolini’s own recommended tone recipe for the P-J platform. It’s a straightforward way to upgrade a stock P-J bass without second-guessing whether the neck and bridge pickups were actually designed to work together.
