* Michael Tobias comments on the custom Bartolini electronics: "They are proprietary parts made especially for us….not commercially available. The pickups are a version of the xxP2c (4 string is the BC shell; 6 string is the P4 shell) and the preamp is a modified 5.2. push pull active/passive on the volume and p/p mid shift at 250/800."
