Bartolini6RT Rickenbacker, 4-String, Original, Split Coil, Neck Position
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Bartolini 6RT is a neck-position Original Series upgrade for a 4-string Rickenbacker 4001. Its single-pickup split-coil design is hum-cancelling and is voiced for full, warm low and low-mid response with clear lower tones. The pickup is fully sealed and shielded, helping it remain quiet when touched and resist noise associated with stage lights and studio power supplies. It is a purpose-built neck replacement, not a universal bass pickup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the neck pickup of a 4-string Rickenbacker 4001 with a sealed, shielded split-coil design.
- Stage or studio setups where resistance to noise from lights and power supplies matters.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
