Description
Drop the P25CBC-T into the bridge position of your 5-string and you get Bartolini’s dual-coil take on the P2 soapbar shape — a pickup engineered to widen your frequency window without turning muddy or harsh. It’s part of the Classic Bass (CB) series, which trades the punchier, more compressed voice of standard Bartolini designs for something more open and hi-fi.
Expect powerful lows and low-mids up front, balanced by a treble response that stays bright and articulate rather than brittle. That extra top-end “air” and note definition comes from the extended frequency range baked into the CB series design, so slap attack, string-to-string separation, and pick dynamics all come through clearly instead of collapsing into a low-end blur.
Like the rest of the Classic Bass line, this pickup is fully cast in epoxy. That’s not just for durability — it locks the coil windings down tight, which kills microphonic squeal and stray feedback before it ever reaches your amp, especially useful at stage volume or with high-gain rigs.
