Heys peeps, 

 

I did a search here and didn’t see anything come up. 
 

who has used or is still using the Bartolini 8cbp p bass pickup and if so how are they and how do they compare to the 8s?

 

thanks in advance

I have barts is 3 or 4 basses including the 8CBP in a P i built.

 

I love it. Smooth and deep but it doesn't sound like my other P style basses. Doesnt get that P clang with the tone all the way on.

hey. Cheers for the response. Ive the 8cbp on its way to me. A friend offered them to me so I’ll try them and see how I get on. I can always go try the 8s after as they are in stock where the 8cbp isn’t. 
 

Just injured my knee so everything is on hold.

Hey,

 

I totally forgot about this post. Knee is better now rehab prevented surgery. It was more to do with my adductor. 
 

 On bart 8CBP. I’m surprised I’ve had them for nearly 2 years. My bass is Asian ash with maple fretboard. The pickups are great l, especially with chrome flats. Smooth, creamy tone. The only way to tame the output and bass is flats. I really like nickel rounds so I’m thinking of letting these go and get the 8s or a different pickup. 
 

You thinking of trying Bart’s?
