Immaculately designed to deliver tone perfection, they harness the power and best features of both Alnico and Ceramic magnets to give the discerning guitarist a powerful and legendary tone. “Built to produce a hot tone you expect from an Alnico with the balancing tones you enjoy in a ceramic,” says Clyde Clark, President and Principal Engineer of Bartolini, “it is two musical flavors joined into one”. The pickups are designed in both single coil and humbucker.
“The Bartolini ACE pickups are a perfect complement for Novax guitars,” claims Ralph Novak, Master Luthier, “our multi?scale instruments have extended tonal range and rich harmonic output; the Bartolini ACE pickups capture every nuance, inspiring the player with complete freedom of expression.”
The technical details: The ACE series are designed with a well?defined magnetic field aperture for maximum clarity and tonal response. It also includes common mode noise cancellation.
Bartolini Pickups and Electronics is pleased to announce their ground breaking SINGULARITYTM soapbar style bass pickup series for single coil lovers in mind.
Players who use soapbar style pickups can now get the world? renowned Bartolini tone found in Jazz Bass® (J Bass®) models. “We call it the SINGULARITY Series because of its uniqueness and single coil configuration,” says Clyde Clark, President and Principal Engineer at Bartolini, “there has been tremendous demand from players and luthiers alike.”
Available for 4, 5, and 6 string basses, these pickups come in many soapbar shapes and sizes, including M3, M4, MK, P2, P4, and BC. They are offered in matched sets with reverse polarity for hum cancellation.
Technical details: Unlike single coil pickups with fixed pole pieces locations, the SINGULARITY family is designed to support a wide range of string widths for maximum clarity and tone. They are fully shielded to reduce electromagnetic interference and sealed in epoxy to eliminate unwanted microphonics.
