Bartolini MK1 vs MK5CBC comparison video

Here is a relatively new (posted Feb. 2022) video on Bartolini MK1 and MK5 pickups. You don't get many of those, so I thought it might be useful. The comparison is made using a Cort A5 bass:

Thanks for posting.

Although, to be precise, the set on the video clip is MK5C, not just MK5. Cause Bartolini makes several MK5 variants:
MK5C Original Bass,
MK5CBC Classic Bass,
MK52J 2J Squared,
MK5P P Split-coil,
MK5J J Split-coil, and
MK5S Singularity.

Good to hear somebody made the comparison of the MK1 with Bart's Original Bass variant. Since usually those who "upgraded" the MK1 chose Bart Classic Bass variant, which has more airy, high frequency response. At least it's what I did, twice, with the MK1 on my Cort Artisan A6 to MK6CBC and Ibanez Portamento SRF705 to MK5CBC.

And, I wonder whether the pickups on the video clip are actually the MK6C set instead, since the screws are only 2 per pickup (whereas they should've been three screws per pickup in the case of any of the MK5 variants).

You're absolutely right! My mistake...What "worries me" more is that the MK5C actually has 3 screw holes, while it is the P25C with 2 screw holes (so I asked the guy in the video about it)

Right, they could also be the P25C.
