bartolini

I am about to purchase this bass and I have a couple of questions. This will be my 3rd (and last) Thumb NT. The first one had the Mec 3 band with mec pickups. The second one had Emg pickups and emg electronics. Between the two I did not hear much difference in how they sounded. Will that...

Goofy question. I just put my Bart twin J's in my vette. The wiring made it look like the PU's wanted to face the neck. In other words where Bartolini was upside down or opposite of the way MEC is written. I installed them with Bartolini facing down anyways because I think that is how they go...

I want to put a set of Bartolinis in my 'vette STD 4. Does anyone on this forum know the exact model numbers that will work in this bass? Also, do these pickups make a difference on their own with the MEC pre or do I need to buy a Bart pre-amp to get the most out of them? Thanks!

Hello Everyone! I'm so happy I just got the good luck to come across a second-hand thumb 5, which is my favorite bass ef all time (needless to say...) The problem I have is that this bass, unfortunately, has no pickups (don't know why, I got it like that at a price that could NOT be...

I wanted to have noise-free passive pickups and a true Active/Passive mode, so I upgraded to a set of Bartolini 9CBJD3 Pickups and a Bartolini 3.4 preamp, running at 18V. To maintain the Warwick knobs and have a Blend control with the Volume (instead of one Volume for each pickup), I replaced...

Hi everyone, i am on my way of building a CS 4 string fretless thumb nt and i am asking everybody about a bartolini soapbar configuration. I would like to use passive soapbars, but i also like the sound of the factory thumb, but never played active pickups because i do not like them, and...

I wasn't happy with the tone on my FNA Jazzman 5. Yes... I have a good amp (4Pro/Avatar). Yes, I have good strings (DR Low Riders). It was just too thin and nasal for the heavy modern rock music that I am presently playing. My active/active ash Standard 5 had a better sound for this music genre...

Hi! I bought my W:twisted: a year ago. Now I understand that necessary for me to replace picks,because wood arranges me... I wish to ask all of you who use Bartolini, what pickups (Bartolini 59 J1 L1/LN1 or 59 CBJD L1/LN1) better to put on mine Corvette Standard 5(Ash)? And whether it is...

Speak French.. Salut.. j'ai une JD thumb serie G0 10 86 Micros Bartolini.. j'aimerais connaitre sa valeur Merci

My corvette standard 5s is JB MEC equipped and my Thumb 6s is Bartolini soapboard equipped. Personnally I find that the sound of MEC is harder, better for slap but less good for low medium . What do you think of that? What is the better method ? Replacement of the MEC by bartolinis. is it...

what are the differences in quality, sound and price of the three makes of pickups and electronics that warwick use?

Which are the Barts that replace the Pick ups in the Vette FNA Jazzman 5? I also want to include the pre-amp? I'm just looking for the model numbers. And is there an authorized Warwick Repair Service Shop in and around the Houston Texas area. I don't want to take it to just anyone that...

I got a 97 Thumb NT, with MEC pups and I want to keep them. But as I need more low, as a folk suggested in other topic, I'll change my preamp. And here comes another question: Aguilar or Bartolini? I'm between OBP-1 and NTMB. I've read a bunch of things, like: Barts are darker, Aguies has...

My customshop Stage I 5 string has Bartolinis on it.. I'm thinking about changing them into a pair of MEC pickups that I have laying around at home.. Brand new onces.. Whats your opinon on this ?????
