Description
The Bartolini MK6CBC-T is the bridge-position (Treble) pickup in the Classic Bass MK soapbar lineup, wound specifically for 6-string basses. It’s a dual-coil design, so you get full humbucking quiet operation without giving up any of the harmonic complexity that makes Bartolini’s Classic Bass voice so sought-after.
- Dig in and it responds with a growly, aggressive edge that still stays defined string to string
- Ease off and it cleans up into a sweet, articulate tone with plenty of top-end sparkle
- Handles slap and pop technique without losing composure or turning muddy
- Passive output means it drops into most existing bass wiring without a full electronics overhaul
- Sweat-resistant construction avoids the crackle and thud you get from cheaper pickups when you touch the poles or dig hard with your strings
What sets the Classic Bass series apart is how much detail it retains across the frequency spectrum. The low end stays full and present, but it never smothers the midrange articulation that jazz, gospel, progressive, and metal players rely on to cut through a mix. If your playing style shifts genres from song to song, this is the kind of pickup that keeps up without asking you to compromise.
Because Bartolini builds separate neck (Bass, -B suffix) and bridge (Treble, -T suffix) versions, the two halves of your pickup pair are voiced to balance properly rather than just being identical units dropped into different slots. This is the -T version, made for bridge duty.
A smart, low-fuss upgrade for anyone who wants pro-level tone shaping without rewiring their whole bass.
