Description
The MK6C-B is Bartolini’s Original soapbar voicing, sized for 6-string basses and configured for the neck position. If you’re chasing that deep, rounded low end that still feels articulate rather than mushy, this is the coil design that made Bartolini’s reputation among working bassists.
- Dual-coil construction cancels hum while preserving the massive low and low-mid content the Original series is known for
- Voiced warm and full — a genuinely vintage character that fattens up your bass’s natural tone instead of masking it
- Fully sealed and shielded housing: resistant to sweat and stage moisture, silent when touched, and immune to the buzz thrown off by lighting rigs and studio power supplies
- Shielded output cable to keep noise rejection consistent all the way to your preamp
- Neck position, balanced (-B) configuration — pairs with the matching -T bridge unit for a complete set
Bartolini didn’t chase modern hi-fi clarity with the Original line — they built pickups that sound like the low end is coming from somewhere real. The dual-coil design means you get that scale without the noise floor that usually comes with big low-mid output, so gigging and studio work both stay clean. Built to pro-level reliability standards, this is a drop-in upgrade for 6-string players who want their neck pickup to do the heavy lifting on tone without adding hum to the mix.
