The Barts have a wide magnetic field and do fine on B and G string (or on E and C string as I have my LP Deluxe strung for the heck of it). With the TB Plus soaps, the B string is even a little mighty compared to the other strings (I have an LP Special 5 stringer and its B string is nothing short of nuclear). Contrary to what one might think, the whole nineties LP line (whether Special, Deluxe or Standard) made for swell five stringers irrespective of what kind of pups were used, uneven string response was never an issue. I think the LP guitarish look suffers with the wider necks though which made these LPs look stubbier.
