The Bartolini 57CBJD S1 is the Fender American Standard Jazz Bass® (J-Bass®) replacement 'short' (S1) pickup for the neck. This pickup is highly respected by musicians and luthiers alike for its deep tone, strong lows, low mids tone. This pickup features a dual inline hum cancelling coil design.
The 57CBJD-S1 is part of the "classic series" bass pickups with passive designs. The "Classic Bass" series bass pickups are passive designs featuring an extended and more resonant frequency range. They have far more "air" and definition at the top without sacrificing lows and low mids. They are cast in epoxy to remove unwanted feedback and microphonics.
Note: The lengths of the neck and bridge pickups in the original J-basses are not equal. The neck pickup is slightly shorter than the bridge pickup. 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 the L1 bridge pickup in the neck position). Some (very few) basses 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. If you need a set that has the LN pickup or two long L1 pickups, please contact us.

Each pickup is hand assembled from selected materials and carefully tested for output level, square wave response, hum level and microphonics.
