Bartolini Original Series Deep Tone Hum Cancelling Jazz Bass® Pickup Set Demo

Note: The pickup used for this video is the Bartolini 9J1 L/S, a 4 string pickup. The below 5 string sizes/shapes will sound similar, but not exact as they will use a longer magnet. Bartolini is engineering them to sound as close to each other as possible.

Do yourself a favor - Listen with a decent set of headphones to get the best listen to the audio tracks in the video. Your phone or computer’s speakers are poor, they neuter bass frequencies and are a true compromise in this situation.

Youtube applies compression to all videos, and this does affect the audio quality, unfortunately.

When editing the audio for basses with multiple pickups (Pickups combined Equally, Neck Pickup Only, Bridge Pickup Only), the signal levels have been largely left so that a listener can hear the volume difference between the various pickup positions. This results in certain positions sounding louder than others.

::: Our general feelings about the Bartolini Original Deep Tone Series Jazz Bass® Pickups:::
This pickup, while not a vintage pickup, is a true classic. Thousands of basses have this J pickup set installed. Low mid punch, with warm lows and a rolled off top end characterize this pickup. There is a pleasant amount of compression that makes these pickups quite forgiving to play.

As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.

Bass: Fender Squire Jazz Bass
Strings: D’Addario NYXL
Tone is fully on
Audio Interface: Scarlett
Audio Recording Software: Logic Pro X
In Logic Pro X, we used an amp modeler, the ’60s Combo’, which is intended to emulate an Ampeg B-15. There is a slight bit of compression and a high pass filter at 40 Hz. For continuity and evaluation purposes, these settings are applied across all of our demo videos.
