Description
If you’ve been chasing that huge, velvety low end that only an Original-series Bartolini can deliver, the BD4C-B is the neck-position answer. Housed in the wider BD soapbar shell, it’s engineered to dig deep into your bass’s low and low-mid register without collapsing into mud — the dual parallel humbucking coils cancel hum while keeping every ounce of that bottom-heavy warmth intact. Think vintage character with modern clarity: fat, round, and unmistakably Bartolini.
Built for players who gig and record for a living, this pickup is fully sealed and shielded, so it stays quiet under stage lighting, resists sweat and moisture, and won’t pick up noise just from your hands brushing the cover. The 4-conductor cable (with shield and bare drain) is shielded as well, giving you flexible wiring options without sacrificing that noise immunity.
