The preamp transfers the natural liveliness of the bass through a flexible 3-band EQ for a variety of applications ranging from studio recordings to large concert halls. The Bartolini MK-1 Preamp provides a powerful, yet transparent boost along with a crisp high-end, and a switchable active/passive mode for a modern active sound or an organic traditional passive sound.
To properly convey the essence of the Artisan B4 and B5 Element basses, Cort has selected Bartolini® MK-1 Pickups, which not only preserve the quality of the tonewoods, but also deliver their own trademark punchy, warm mids and transparent, brilliant highs.
The MetalCraft M innovation allows for string spacing of 19 mm for the 4-string M4, and 18 mm for the 5-string M5. Deep individual slots hold the saddles rock-tight, preventing any unwanted movement and allowing string vibrations to properly transfer to the body. Depending on the thickness of the strings, the dual-string loading system allows for loading either through the body or from the top for optimal string tension, resulting in enhanced sustain, improved playability, and focused sound. This process stabilizes the wood for a big, bold tone and provides a desirable, golden-brown vintage look.Ī standout of the Artisan B4 and B5 Element design is the newly applied solid, high-mass MetalCraft M bridge, which was developed with more focus on ease-of-use and greater tone transfer. Function and beauty is similarly balanced in the roasted 24-fret maple fingerboard (15.75-inch radius), treated in an oxygen-free oven at a high temperature. The pairing results in an ideally balanced sound that rounds out the bass spectrum on the 34-inch scale, as well as a visually intriguing striped design from the back. The Artisan B4 and B5 Element both have a bolt-on neck constructed of 5pcs panga panga and walnut, a combination that provides a tight, defined midrange that complements the bright, expansive tonal nature of the mahogany body. All three finishes are available for both models. The ash’s beautiful wood grains provide for a more natural aesthetic, especially in Open Pore Natural finish, as well as a bold statement in Open Pore Trans Black and Open Pore Burgundy Red.
