Description
Built as a direct swap for the stock Rickenbacker neck pickup, the Bartolini 6RT belongs to the Original Series line of passive 4-string bass pickups — the same split-coil format Rickenbacker players have relied on for decades, just wound and potted with a bit more care.
- Coil design: Split coil construction for a full-range voice with a naturally deep, weighty tone.
- Epoxy cast: Fully potted to squash unwanted feedback and microphonic squeal, so you can dig in without the pickup talking back.
- Fit: Standard Rickenbacker shape, sized for direct neck-position installation on 4-string basses.
- Dimensions: 1.10″ / 27.94mm wide, 2.86″ / 72.64mm long (measured without ears).
If your Rickenbacker’s neck pickup has gone thin, noisy, or just tired, the 6RT restores the low-end authority and vintage character the platform is known for — no rewiring gymnastics, no routing, just a straightforward upgrade that respects the original design while cleaning up the noise floor.
