Description
Some pickups make you choose between depth and clarity. The Bartolini MK6C-B doesn’t. Built for 6-string basses in the neck position, this soapbar taps into the low-end reservoir that made Original Bart pickups a staple for players who need their bottom notes to actually mean something – full, round, and articulate instead of a blurry rumble.
The dual coil design is doing the real work here. Instead of letting all that low-mid energy collapse into noise or mush, it keeps things quiet and defined, so the extra frequency range you get from a 6-string doesn’t come at the cost of clarity. Tonally, this lands on the warmer, vintage-leaning side of the Bartolini catalog – the kind of voice that flatters the natural character of your bass rather than trying to reshape it.
Bartolini builds these for players who actually gig and record for a living, which means:
- Fully sealed and shielded construction – sweat, stage humidity, and grime aren’t a concern
- Silent to the touch, with no unwanted noise picked up from your hands
- Shielded against interference from stage lighting rigs and studio power supplies
- Shielded cables included as part of the pickup itself
This is the -B (Bass/neck) version in the MK6C series, balanced for neck placement. Pair it with the matching -T (Treble/bridge) unit for a complete, cohesive voice across your 6-string setup.
