Building my dream bass. Was thinkin' 'bout a mm/j pup configuration. Anyway, I'm on E bay, just looking at what's available, when a deal jumps out at me that I gotta move on.
It's a set of J bass bartolinis, only 3 months old, with a "buy it now" of $25. I figured "what the Hell, for 25 bones, I'll give 'em a shot".
Well they arrived today and to my suprise I now own a set of Barts model 9E which, according to bart's web site, is an active pup w/ a built in preamp.
I'm not at the stage of putting the bass together yet to install the pups. But I'm dying to know what I've got. Anyone have a set? What do they sound like? Good for jazz/R&b/Slap?
Please boys, Let me know.Check This Out! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?viewitem&item=2534585524&category=22670&rd=1)

I've heard them described as more ballsy than standard barts, which is kind of vague, since there are so many different kinds of Bartolini's, but that's all I know.
