Hum-Free Upgrade For Your Rick

Bartolini Original replacement pickups let you retain the classic Rickenbacker tone, but without the noise exacerbated by the Rick’s famously assertive high end. Providing beefy lows and low-midrange for your Rickenbacker 4001, the 6RC bridge pickup and the 6RT neck pickup have long been industry-standard pro upgrades for Ricks. The bridge pickup is a dual coil humbucker, while the neck pickup is a split-coil design. Both are fully hum-canceling whether played individually or together.

The professional bass upgrade pickup

Bartolini Originals enhance the natural sound of your bass, giving it the warm, full vintage voice you’ve always wanted. Made for professional bass players, these pickups are fully sealed and shielded, so they’re sweat-proof, quiet to the touch, and unaffected by interference from studio power supplies and stage lights. The cables are shielded as well. Legions of bassists at Sweetwater rely on Bartolini Original pickups to deliver their musical message, gig after gig. You can too.

Bartolini 6RC Features:

  • Bridge-position passive replacement pickup for Rickenbacker 4001 basses
  • Warm, full vintage voice
  • Strong lows and low-mids
  • Hum-free dual-coil design
  • Fully sealed and shielded
  • Shielded cables
