Non-CB Bartolinis. Anyone?

It's common to read that lots of folks prefer the CB "Classic Bass" Series of Bartolinis. Just wondering if anyone prefers or is just as happy with the NON-CB pu's. I see that BestBassGear lists both on his site. For non slappers, maybe old school type of tone, if the "muted" highs are preferable. Thanks.

I've used several 8S P pickups with excellent results...I started using them quite a few years ago way before the CB series came out so I'm not specifically familiar with the CBs.

I have their Roscoe spec Quad Coils in both my Roscoes(funny coincidence, eh?

), and utterly love them.

I have Deep Tone Quad Coils in my Ristola-6 and they sound terrific IMO.

I have CB series J-style pickups in my Lull 5-string, -to fatten it's tone up. My Ristola does fat tone really well so I plan on having the Duncan SC's that were originally in it put back in.

But the CB Series Barts are really nice as well IMO.
