    Anyone have any info on these? Bartolini doesn't even list them on their site and I really only see them on some of the Ibanez BTB basses (mine is the 675M). Is there a replacement even made? I just replaced the Barts on a Lakland 55-01, which I believe were P2's, with Nordy Fat Stacks and they sound fantastic. Might want to do the same with the Ibanez, I know the 1405 basses already come with Nordy Big Singles. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    If they are like the MK1 in the 5501 they are not actually Barts, which is why they are not on their site...and why most people replace them.

    They are definitely longer, they are basically the 6 string version of MK1's. Definitely not real Barts.

    I know the 1405's come with the nordy big single pups so I would think they have a replacement...

    I kinda want that bass, but I might replace the pickups with some alumitone bass bars.
