The Cort Artisan B4 Element represents a complete renewal of the popular B-class artisan basses, offering premium features typically found on much more expensive instruments. This bass is a powerhouse of tone, blending top-tier woods like Ash, Mahogany, and Roasted Maple with world-renowned Bartolini electronics.

Why the B4 Element is the professional’s choice:

• Premium Tonewoods: Features a round-edged Mahogany body with a gorgeous Ash top, delivering a warm yet punchy and articulate sound.
• Roasted Maple Neck: The heat-treated Maple neck ensures maximum stability and a bold, focused tone with a smooth, premium feel.
• Bartolini® MK-1 Electronics: Equipped with a matched set of Bartolini MK-1 pickups and preamp, offering a wide frequency response and exceptional clarity for everything from fingerstyle to slap.
• High-Mass MetalCraft M4 Bridge: This newly developed bridge enhances resonance and tone transfer with its dual-load system (through the body or through the bridge).
• Hipshot® Ultralite Tuners: Industry-standard tuners for perfect balance and rock-solid tuning stability.
