Description
The MK5CBC-T is Bartolini’s dual-coil soapbar designed to drop straight into the bridge position of Cort Curbow-style 5-string basses. At 4.24″ / 107.57mm long and 1.33″ / 33.66mm wide, it’s shaped to match the original cavity without any routing surprises.
Tonally, this pickup leans into a fuller low end paired with present low-mids, then opens up into a bright, cutting treble response thanks to the humbucking coil configuration. It’s the kind of voicing that keeps a 5-string’s low B tight and defined while still letting slap and fingerstyle attack cut through a mix.
As part of Bartolini’s Classic Bass series, the MK5CBC-T is a passive pickup built around an extended, more resonant frequency window than typical vintage-style designs. The result is noticeably more air and clarity up top, without thinning out or sacrificing any of the low-end weight players expect from a soapbar humbucker.
- Cort Curbow-shape soapbar for bridge position
- Dual coil humbucking design
- Passive, Classic Bass series voicing
- Extended frequency range with added top-end air and definition
- Epoxy-cast construction to eliminate feedback and microphonics
Whether you’re restoring a Curbow-style bass to spec or just want a bridge pickup that balances low-B authority with real clarity, the MK5CBC-T delivers a modern, hum-free voice built for players who care about tone from the coil up.
