Description
The X55CBJD-B is the neck-position half of Bartolini’s X5 soapbar set, sized for 5-string basses at 4.66″ / 118.36mm long and 0.81″ / 20.57mm wide. It’s part of the Classic Bass (CB) lineup — passive pickups voiced with a wider, more resonant frequency window than typical vintage-style units, so you get extended top-end clarity without thinning out the fundamental.
Inside, the dual in-line coil arrangement cancels hum while keeping the tone dense and focused: strong lows, present low-mids, and enough clarity up top to cut through a busy mix without sounding brittle. Bartolini casts the coils in epoxy, which locks out microphonic noise and unwanted feedback — a must for a neck pickup that’s often pushed hard for round, woody low-string tone.
If you’re chasing a neck pickup with real low-end authority and enough openness to still articulate on the low B, this is built for that job.
