Description
The xxP46C-T is Bartolini’s P4-shaped soapbar, purpose-built for the bridge slot on 6-string basses. At 4.63″ (117.60mm) long and 1.27″ (32.13mm) wide, it’s sized to handle the wider string spread these instruments demand.
Inside, a quad coil design gives you the flexibility to split coils for tonal variety, while the stock wiring leans into a deep, full-bodied voice suited to anchoring a busy 6-string mix. This is one of Bartolini’s Original Series pickups — passive, no-nonsense, and epoxy-potted to keep hum and microphonic squeal out of your signal so you can dig in without picking up unwanted noise.
Geometry matters here: this pickup is optimized for extended string spacing between 74mm and 95mm, specifically on low-curvature fingerboards with a 16″ radius or flatter. If your 6-string bass fits that spec, the xxP46C-T should drop into the bridge position as a well-matched upgrade.
