New b-axis pickups

Available to order now from your favorite Bartolini Retail outlet!  Based on the Original 1970’s Bartolini HI-A design, the J44J L/S is the b-axis series Jazz Bass® ( J Bass® ) replacement pickup set with a ‘long’ for the bridge and a ‘short’ for the neck.

The set is gaining the interest of highly respected musicians and luthiers alike for its Huge Punchy Tone, Precise Articulation, Rich Harmonics, and Incredible Versatility. They feature a new fully-encapsulated Alnico V, exposed- pole piece design.

The b-axis series bass pickups are passive and can be combined with many of our active electronics options. They are cast in epoxy to remove unwanted feedback and microphonics.

b-axis J44J-L/S    b-axis Jazz Split Coil Alnico 4 String, Bridge/Neck Pair

b-axis J55J-L/S    b-axis Jazz Split Coil Alnico 5 String, Amer. Standard 19mm, Bridge/Neck Pair - 69.7/74.1mm

b-axis J45J-L/LN-19    b-axis Jazz Split Coil Alnico 5 String Standard 19mm, Bridge/Long Neck Pair - 69.7/74.1mm

b-axis J45J-L/LN    b-axis Jazz Split Coil Alnico 5 String Standard 18mm, Bridge/Long Neck Pair 66.7/70.4mm

The lengths of the neck and bridge pickups in the original  J-basses are not equal. The neck pickup is 3-5/8″ long which is slightly shorter than the bridge pickup which is 3-3/4″ long. Some modern designs, however, use  two ‘long’ bridge-length pickups. In this configuration it is important to use the “LN” (long neck) pickup that is specifically designed to work in this position (do not use a bridge pickup in the neck position). Some (very few) use two ‘short’ neck length pickups. Please check the physical size of the pickups you want to replace to make sure the replacements fit properly.

Bartolini 59S72 L/LN 5 String Jazz L/LN Size Deep Tone Single Coil Set

Single Coil, Deep Tone. These pickups are wound to yield much more "growl" from the Bridge pickup. They are very similar in tone to the old Bartolini 94J 4 string pickups, just ever so slighlty brighter at the bridge. Tonally, these have stronger lows and low mids than the typical "vintage" tone.

Single Coil, low noise pickup. A good choice for basses with the long bridge/long neck pickup sizes that have narrow string spacing.

(59 Long/Long) - good for narrow string spacing (15,16, 17mm).

- Fits non-Fender, J style Basses requiring two long J style pickups

Dimensions:

1. 1Length:Neck:3.73"(95mm)
   Bridge:3.73"(95mm)
   

2. 2Width:Neck:0.73"(19mm)
   Bridge:0.73"(19mm)
   

*The 59CBJD L1/LN1 is the Fender Jazz Bass® ( J Bass® ) replacement pickup set with a ‘long’ for the bridge and a ‘long neck’ for the neck. NOTE: For J Bass instruments where both the neck and bridge pickup lengths are equal, the ‘long neck’ is especially designed for the neck position. The set is highly respected by musicians and luthiers alike for its deep tone, strong lows, low mids tone. They feature a dual in-line hum cancelling coil design.
