Bartolini8S P Bass, 4-String, Original Series, Split-Coil Pair
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bartolini’s 8S is a P Bass split-coil pickup pair for four-string basses. It is voiced full and warm for a vintage character while retaining a low, clear presentation. The hum-cancelling design suits studio or stage use, and its blade core removes string-alignment concern. Shielding is used to block radio signals and noise, while epoxy encapsulation eliminates the microphonic noise associated with touching typical pickups.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Four-string P Bass setups needing hum-cancelling pickups for studio or stage work.
- Players after a full, warm vintage voice with low-end clarity.
