BartoliniBRPXXM55C-B Original M5 Soapbar Quad Coil Neck 5-String Bass Pickup
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for the neck position, the BRPXXM55C-B is a passive 5-string M5 soapbar-shaped pickup with a splittable quad-coil layout and a deep voice. Its 4.50-by-1.50-inch footprint and 64-80mm string-width design make physical layout checks essential before installation. It is intended for low-curvature fingerboards, and its epoxy casting is used to reduce unwanted feedback and microphonics. The result is a position-specific replacement pickup with clearly defined routing and string-spacing requirements.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Neck-position replacement on a 5-string bass using an M5 soapbar-shaped pickup route.
- Bass layouts with 64-80mm extended string width and a low-curvature fingerboard.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Pickup routes that do not match the 4.50-inch by 1.50-inch M5 soapbar footprint.
- Bass layouts outside the specified 64-80mm string-width range or without a low-curvature fingerboard.
