Sign in to disble this ad
I just got an Ibanez SR505 with Bartolini mk-1 pickups and I was interested in their specifications, but the Bartolini website doesn't even list them. Does anybody out there know anything about these pickups, or where I might find information concerning them? |

| | | Yep, I figured as much. The sales folks were all over shouting out "Bartolini, Bartolini," but I figured it was just a knock-off who bought the name. They sounded nice, though, with the 3 band EQ, so I'm happy with the guitar. It's plugged in through my "beginner" amp... a Fender Rumble 100 (made in Indonesia, so I guess they all feel at home with each other!) Now if I can just figure out where beginner amps let off and pro amps begin!  |

It sounds great. I certainly wouldn't call it a beginners amp. It is perfect for any situation where you don't need a lot of volume. We are a 3 piece band - bass, drums and guitar - and it is has enough volume for small gigs. Since I've made quite a bit of money using one I would call it a pro amp..... although the flashing red lights are a little cheesy.
I also used my Lakland 55-01 with MK-1 pickups on a lot of gigs. It was my main bass for a couple of years. Those pickups are gig worthy too.

Kind of like reverse p pickups in boxes. |
