Anyone know what's going on with Bartolini? Have they ceased production? Still in business? Every retailer is out of stock (certain pickups and pre-amps) with no ETA! Frustrating!  |

While their may be a ton of basses with Bartolini pickups, the particular pickups I have been seeking are just not available! Specifically the Neck position MK5.

Great products but constant backorders and lousy service. Their site is always late by a few years.
They are worth the wait though. |

I think the P2's fit in the same routing as the MK's. Maybe I'll check availability on those. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
