Description
Dropped into the bridge slot, the Bartolini T4CBC-T is made to fit the Thunderbird-shaped soapbar cavity and give your low end real definition without sacrificing the growl. This is a Classic Bass (CB) series pickup, meaning it’s voiced with an extended, more resonant frequency window than a standard-issue unit – the kind of tonal range that lets you sit in a mix with punch on top and weight underneath.
Bartolini builds these with CNC-machined blade magnets, so the output stays consistent and the tone stays honest string to string. The coils are epoxy-coated for true hum-cancelling performance – critical when you’re running high-gain rigs or recording direct and don’t want to fight noise on every take. Coverage spans 50mm to 59mm string spacing on medium, so it’ll work across a good range of Thunderbird-style 4-strings without crowding your strings or leaving gaps.
What you get tonally: more clarity and articulation up top, paired with the deep low and low-mid character that makes a bass feel like a bass. It’s a pickup for players who want their fundamental to stay full and round on stage, not thinned out chasing brightness.
