It seems as though I'm a soapbard pickup kind of guy and like the smooth fingertone I get out of the ones I've owned. I've tried multiple USA Barts, Nordtrand DC and Big Singles, Benavente DC, and Aguilar DCB. I wanted to see what other's have tried and liked best. What is it you liked best with...
Ok, so, I've got a custom Iceman body on it's way with a P and Soap Bar (EMG 35 size) route. I'm looking at throwing in a set of Geezer Butlers P's and maybe a Seymour Duncan NYC. Now my question is am i going to have any major issues with the DCR as the Geezer's are rated at 11.20 and the NYC...

Hey All,
Up for grabs, a st of Bart soaps these are out of a 4 string but, will work for 4 or 5 string, blade config. The neck is a BC5CBC-B and the Bridge is a 72BC5C-T. Excellent shape with original length lead wire, 4 conductor so, you can wire series...

Took them from a bass in favor of a slightly more vintage pickup.
Sound great and have 4 wires so they can be hooked up to a switch for series/ parallel I believe.

Hi!
The next project I’m preparing for is to swap the EMG HZ humbucker of my Spector Spectorcore for a passive split coil, p-style pickup housed in a standard 3.5 inch x 1.5 inch soapbar.
Who makes a good one?
I have an awesome set of Bartolini Soapbars available for sale or trade. These are the P2 size 5 string soapbars. They were installed in a bass that I no longer have, so I don't need these pickups anymore. $175 including Priority shipping to continental US, or $200 trade value. Full or partial...

Hi guys.
I'm in the process of rebuilding a fretted Wasburn Force 5 abt to fretless, which could end up with replacing the pick-ups and pre-amp. From just playing the bass without plugging it into my amp, it seems there's tons of tone in the wood and the neck though construction, which doesn't...
We live in a time when bass gear has improved and their are alot of options for users to choose from so I though it would be good to hear from TB'ers about that is their favorite Soapbar pickup and why? Mine currently are the Aguilar DCB's and the Nordstrand DC5 pups.
Title says it all. I’m looking for P pickups in a soapbar format for my 6-string Ibanez GIO.
They need to be passive, as I want to put a 2 or 3-band EQ in with them.
Any ideas?
I have 2 of these. The "-T" denotes the bridge position. Both are used, but still in great shape. Only used in two separate instruments, so there is plenty of wire lead left on both (10 inches on one, 8 on the other.) These are great pickups, and a great way to upgrade an otherwise sterile...

For 5-string P-bass in a soapbar shape.
Sounds just like a P-bass should.
I had 2 in a bass, but eventually found that I preferred the P+DC setup, making this one expendable.
Top of the pickup shows zero wear, like it's not been played.
Essentially an open-box pickup, which retails for $99...

Spent all day looking for metallic gold covers for my 6 string EMGHz soapbars. No diiice. Just entertaining the idea for a project bass. Trying to not spend beaucoup dinero. Wondering if anyone has experience with, maybe, gold craft foiling or any other good ideas to make my pickups attract...
Great set of Bartolini Soapbar pickups taken out of my Spector Euro. I decided to go back to EMG's so I could have a PJ setup. Pickups work great and sound very good. I was actually impressed with how nice they sounded. I'm just not a Dual-Coil guy.

I'm overhauling my pickups and electronics - going all passive, replacing both soapbars, etc.
I'm looking for a soapbar in the neck position that's good for chording, meaning (at least to me) a pickup that doesn't have a lot of lower midrange that's commonly called "boxy" or "muddy". Ime and...

Any of you electronics gurus, got a quick question for you about a project I'm putting together: It's a fretless with just a neck pickup. I've got a Bartolini soapbar. Can I just use a regular p bass wiring harness with 500k pots? Just volume and tone. Or would 250k be mellower because of the...
