Parts for Instruments

The AG2PB/918 is a high impedance preamp for use with piezo or microphonic transducers. It features adjustable gain which allows you to boost the input signal up to 12dB (4X) while maintaining flat frequency response. It is less than half the size of a 9-volt battery making it ideal for instruments with limited cavity space. The AG2PB/918 provides a strong output signal and isolation from external equipment that may otherwise adversely affect pickup tone. It is often used to make a passive instrument active with very little effort. With only 4 wires to connect power, ground, input, and output it is a simple way to ensure your piezo-pickup instrument has all the power and isolation that it needs. The AG2PB/918 provides 2 independent high impedance buffers in the same space as the AGPB/918. This is great for separately boosting 2 pickups from a split piezo saddle, as part of an independent setup for individual string saddles, or to mix a piezo with a microphonic transducer. Individual gain trimmers per channel give you a lot of flexibility. Like all of our preamps, the Piezo buffers are internally shielded to reject electromagnetic noise and include internal filters to block AM and FM radio on the inputs. Bartolini set the standard of fully sealing the sensitive electronics. We use professional double tin plated pure copper wire with durable semi-rigid insulation. This ensures the 4" pre-stripped wires dont flop around in the cavity and the wires dont cut through the insulation over time. Either preamp can be used with either a single 9-volt battery (9-volt operation) or two 9-volt batteries wired in series (18-volt operation) for double the (6dB extra) headroom with no tonal change. Both versions delivery clear and transparent sound with extremely low distortion.dual channel buffer preamp for electric bassclear transparent sound with very low distortionsuitable for passive high-impedance pickups (piezo or microphonic pickups)two independent buffer channels to combine two pickupsinput impedance 3.3 MOhmoutput impedance 3.6 kOhmadjustable gain up to 12 dB for each channelsupports 18V operation for 6 dB extra headroom power supply via 1 x 9V / 2 x 9V (18V) battery (not included)dimensions (L x W x H) 26.7 x 20.1 x 10.9 mm / 1.05" x 0.79" x 0.43"Warranty Information for Electronics: Electronic components such as preamps and circuit boards by Sadowsky, MEC, Seymour Duncan, and Bartolini are covered exclusively by the legal warranty period. These items are classified as electronic wear parts and are therefore excluded from the extended 4-year warranty. Thank you for your understanding. Note: Electronic components are excluded from the right of return if their cables have been cut or soldered, if they show signs of use, if they have already been installed, or if there is other damage that affects the condition of the goods. 

The AGB/918-2 is a buffer preamp that features adjustable gain which allows you to boost the input signal up to 12dB while maintaining flat frequency response. It is less than half the size of a 9-volt battery making it ideal for instruments with limited cavity space.

It is often used to make a passive instrument active with very little effort. With only 4 wires to connect power, ground, input, and output it is a simple way to add flexibility and power to your guitar or bass with active or passive pickups.

The TC series are our original preamps known as "The Chip". They are hand-made with discrete electronic components for very low noise, outstanding distortion characteristics when overdriven, and very long battery life. They are rugged, reliable and easy to install. In most cases do not require modifications to the instrument. The different versions provide different gain levels and area available as single or dual channel. The TC series are vintage designs that can be used in simple or complex ways. They include a boost signal that can be used by professional guitar technicians to further increase the output gain or to shape the frequency response for bass, mid, or treble boost. Because they rely on electrical current feedback for amplification, the tone is very well suited for high-output guitar setups. The TC series delivers very satisfying frequency-phase shift and asymmetric tube-like distortion when overdriven. Like all of our electronics modules, the TC preamps are internally shielded to reject electromagnetic noise and include internal filters to block AM and FM radio on the inputs. Bartolini set the standard of fully sealing the sensitive electronics. We use professional double tin plated pure copper wire with durable semi-rigid insulation. This ensures the 4" pre-stripped wires dont flop around in the cavity and the wires dont cut through the insulation over time. All TC preamps can be used in the un-boosted mode to provide equal amplification of all audio frequencies and very simple installation. The boosted modes allow tonal changes ranging from simple treble boost to a midrange spectrum shaping specifically designed to overdrive amplifiers to their best distortion sounds.dual channel preamp for electric guitarsvery low noisegreat distortion characteristics when overdrivensuitable für high-output guitar setups12 dB (4x) Gaininput impedance 400 kOhmoutput impedance 3.6 kOhmpower supply via 1 x 9V battery (not included)dimensions (L x W x H) 26.7 x 20.1 x 10.9 mm / 1.05" x 0.79" x 0.43"Warranty Information for Electronics: Electronic components such as preamps and circuit boards by Sadowsky, MEC, Seymour Duncan, and Bartolini are covered exclusively by the legal warranty period.

The four separate buffers in the TQB Quad Buffer can reduce electronic noise levels in instruments with passive pickups and some of our on-board preamps. Each buffer in the TQB is a low noise amplifier with a gain of 1, an input impedance of 270 kOhms and an output impedance of less than 10 kOhms. This low output impedance allows the TQB to drive 25 kOhm Volume or Blend controls very easily. This configuration was used in many instruments by Michael Tobias in the mid-late 80's. The tone quality was similar to that of the coils in parallel but with higher definition and lower noise. 4 channel buffer preamp for electric bassdiscontinued NOS equipment (not ROHS-compliant)used in some old Tobias era basses to buffer each individual coil of two humbuckersinput impedance 270 kOhmoutput impedance 10 kOhmgain factor 1supports 9 V and 18V operation power supply via 1 x 9V / 2 x 9V (18V) battery (not included)Warranty Information for Electronics: Electronic components such as preamps and circuit boards by Sadowsky, MEC, Seymour Duncan, and Bartolini are covered exclusively by the legal warranty period.

The Babicz Full Contact Hardware offers an innovative technical design to improve sustain and sound quality. The patented LX2 tailpiece offers unmatched string stability due to the “twin locking” feature. Unlike traditional tailpieces which are only held in place by string tension, the LX2 offers unidirectional locking; vertically and laterally. The combined twin locking forces offer the most stable tailpiece found today, and is a drop in fit upgrade for guitars which use Tune-O-Matic/Tailpiece combo. Sustain, sound, response and tuning stability are significantly improved.tailpiece for electric guitars6-string versionfits guitars with stop tailpieceunmatched string stability due to "Twin Locking" functionsolid aluminium constructionblack finishincl. mounting studs, body inserts and adjustment wrench
