Cort B4 Element Open Pore Natural

Cort B4 Element Open Pore Natural - Electric Bass

The Artisan B4 Element model has been completely redesigned, combining the best features of the highly popular Artisan B series such as the roasted maple fretboard on a 5-piece Panga Panga and walnut neck, Bartolini pickups, and electronics.

This model also features the new MetalCraft M4 bridge with the "Dual String Loading" system, which ensures better vibration transfer thanks to its increased mass. The contours of the mahogany body have been made even more ergonomic, and the beautifully grained ash top is available in 3 stunning color variants. The combination of the right elements, together with Cort's excellent build quality, makes the Artisan B4 Element an extraordinary bass for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Features

Mahogany Body with Ash Top

The mahogany body with ash top delivers an excellent balance between warm, full basses and very clear, present highs. Not to mention, the beautiful grain of the ash top gives the bass a very natural appearance.

Bartolini MK-1 Pickups

The Bartolini dual-coil MK-1 pickups provide a dynamic tone with massive, cutting mids and crystal-clear highs.

Bartolini MK-1 Preamp

The Bartolini MK-1 preamp is the perfect match for the Bartolini pickups. The 3-band EQ is very versatile and offers a wide range of sounds without compromising on dynamics and transparency.

MetalCraft M Bridge

The solid, mass-rich MetalCraft M bridge was designed with easy handling and improved vibration transfer in mind. The strings can be threaded either traditionally from the back into the bridge or through the body (string-through-body) to achieve either the classic tone or more sustain and a focused tone through the body. Another improvement in vibration properties is the deep, individual slots where the saddles sit absolutely precisely and cannot shift. This ensures a clean transfer of string vibrations to the body. The MetalCraft M4 and M5 bridges have a string spacing of 19mm on the M4 and 18mm on the M5 bridge.

5-Piece Panga Panga / Walnut Neck

The walnut strips make the Panga Panga neck even more stable and resistant to twisting while adding tonal warmth and midrange.

Hipshot Ultralite Tuners

The Artisan B4 Element comes standard with Hipshot Ultralite tuners for precise tuning and excellent tuning stability.

Roasted Maple Fretboard

By heat-treating the maple in an oxygen-free oven at relatively high temperatures, the wood stabilizes and develops a wonderful brown appearance and a pronounced tone.
