Barden Js. 4-string size, 5-string bass

I would measure your string spread (B to G) over the bridge pickup and see what you get. I just measured the blade length on a 4-string Barden pickup, and it looks like 3 1/8".

If the Bardens won't cover sufficiently, I would recommend you consider something from Nordstrand. They're generally open to customizing the pole spacing on any of their pickups, as long as covers are readily available. That's always the case with standard size J pickups.

 

That's probably a question best posed to the folks at Barden. Frank is the man, and you can reach him at [email protected].
