The Bartolini BC4C brings Bartolini's deep, thick Original voice to the popular 4-string BC soapbar shape. Designed for players who want substantial low-end without sacrificing definition, the BC4C delivers huge lows and powerful low-mids with the full, warm character associated with classic Bartolini pickups.
The BC4C uses a passive dual-coil humbucking design to keep that substantial low-end response clear and controlled. Its wide magnetic aperture enhances the natural voice of your bass while delivering the warmth and depth that make the Original series a great choice for players looking for a rich, vintage-inspired tone.
Choose the BC4C-B for the neck position or the BC4C-T for the bridge position. Bartolini offers balanced neck and bridge versions so they work well together in your bass.

Bartolini Original soapbars are all about the low end. They produce exceptionally deep, substantial lows and low-mids while their dual-coil construction helps keep that powerful bottom end clear and controlled.
The Original voice is full and warm with a distinctly vintage character. Rather than overwhelming the natural sound of the instrument with muddy or boomy lows, these pickups are designed to enhance the voice of your bass while delivering exceptional depth and low-frequency clarity.
The pickups are fully sealed and shielded for quiet performance and resistance to sweat, stage lighting interference and other sources of unwanted noise. The pickup cables are shielded as well.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience can vary depending on your bass, strings, electronics, amplification, setup, and playing style.
