Cort B4 Element 4 String Artisan Series Mahogany Body Ash Top with MK-1 Pickups Electric Bass Guitar

The Artisan B5 Element is the evolution of Cort’s renowned B-series, blending the most loved features with modern upgrades for today’s discerning bassists. Designed for professionals and enthusiasts alike, it combines premium tonewoods, world-class components, and player-focused ergonomics to deliver exceptional performance and value.

An ash top over a mahogany body creates the perfect tonal harmony—rich, warm lows with clarity and punch, enhanced by the natural beauty of ash grain. The 5-piece panga panga/walnut neck with roasted maple fingerboard offers outstanding stability and silky-smooth playability, giving the B5 Element both durability and refinement.

Powered by Bartolini® MK-1 pickups and preamp, this bass produces a versatile, balanced voice with warm mids, crisp highs, and flexible tone shaping through a 3-band EQ and active/passive switch. Whether in the studio or on stage, it adapts effortlessly to any musical setting. The new MetalCraft M5 high-mass bridge boosts sustain and resonance with its dual string-loading system, while Hipshot® Ultralite tuners keep the instrument light, stable, and perfectly in tune.

Finished with a sleek, ergonomic body and available in striking colors, the Artisan B5 Element is more than just a bass—it’s a statement of inspiration and artistry.
