Description
The BC4CBC-B is Bartolini’s go-to answer for bassists who bounce between genres and still need one pickup that keeps up. Housed in the common BC soapbar shape for 4-string basses, this neck-position humbucker pairs low-end depth with a top end that stays articulate instead of harsh.
Dig in and you get real growl; ease off and the tone opens into something clean and sweet — the kind of dynamic range that jazz, gospel, progressive, and metal players lean on when every note needs to be heard clearly. The dual parallel humbucking coils cancel hum completely, so slapping, popping, and even sweaty stage sets won’t introduce crackle or thump when strings or fingers make contact.
Because it’s a fully passive design, the BC4CBC-B drops into most existing bass wiring without forcing a preamp upgrade or rewiring project — ideal if you want a genuine tone jump without a full electronics overhaul.
- Coil Structure: Dual Parallel Humbucking
- Cable Type: 4-Conductor Cable with shield and bare drain
- DC Resistance: ~5.1KΩ each coil
- Resonant Frequency: ~4.5KHz
- Sensing Width: 2.36″ [60mm] Max
If your bass needs a versatile, hum-free neck pickup that rewards both aggressive and subtle playing, the Classic Bass BC4CBC-B earns its spot as one of Bartolini’s most popular soapbars.
