Description
The 9CBJD1-L/S set brings Bartolini’s “Classic Bass” CB voicing to the Jazz bass platform, aiming squarely at players who want more clarity up top without the usual tradeoff of losing low-end weight. Where a lot of vintage-style J pickups can get dark and woolly, this design opens up the frequency window so you get real air and note definition in the upper register while the lows and low-mids stay full and controlled.
- Extended, more resonant frequency response for added top-end detail
- Epoxy-cast construction to keep feedback and microphonic noise out of the signal
- CNC-machined blade pole pieces for even string-to-string balance
- Covers string spacing from 50mm to 59mm, suited to fingerboards with medium curvature
That blade design isn’t just about looks — it lets the pickup track evenly across a wider range of string widths, which matters if you’re not running a perfectly standard spacing or your board has some curve to it. Combined with the epoxy potting, you get a quiet, stable pickup that holds its output character whether you’re slapping, fingerstyle, or digging in with a pick.
If your Jazz bass has been sounding a little closed-in on top, or you just want more definition without sacrificing the low-end punch the platform is known for, this set is built exactly for that job.
