Description
The 9J1-L/S gives you the proper vintage-correct J Bass geometry: a 3-3/4″ long pickup for the bridge and a 3-5/8″ short pickup for the neck, exactly matching original Fender J Bass proportions. Both use Bartolini’s dual in-line coil layout for genuine hum cancellation, and each is epoxy-cast solid to kill microphonics and unwanted feedback before they start.
Tonally, this is the set players reach for when they want a J-bass that digs in low without getting boomy or thin in the mids — deep fundamentals, strong low end, and a low-mid character that sits well in a mix. Since neck and bridge lengths differ in a real J Bass, fit matters: if your instrument uses two long pickups, you’d want the LN neck-specific variant instead of a standard short, and vice versa for dual-short setups. Always double-check your existing pickup dimensions before ordering.
This set arrives wired straight to Bartolini’s HR3.4/918 harness, eliminating the soldering guesswork of a from-scratch preamp install. The harness runs a 3-band EQ with a Neck Volume/Bridge Volume stacked pot, plus a second stacked control combining Treble/Bass with Mid (featuring push-pull selection between two mid frequencies). It ships with a second battery clip for 18V operation, full wiring instructions, and black ring and center knobs for the tone stack.

Made entirely in the USA by Bartolini in San Luis Obispo, CA — the benchmark for bass tone since players started demanding more from their J-basses. Pro Audio Land has carried Bartolini’s full catalog as an authorized dealer for years.
