The Cort B4 Element: A Bass with the Best of Both Worlds

If you are looking for a bass that combines the best elements of the Artisan B-class basses with a new high-mass bridge and a rounder ergonomic body, look no further than the Cort B4 Element. This 4-string bass has an Ash top on a Mahogany body for a balanced tone with warm lows and clear highs. The ash top also adds a natural beauty to the bass with its stunning wood grain.

A Bolder Sound with Roasted Maple and Bartolini

The neck of the B4 Element is made of 5-piece Panga-Panga/ Walnut with a roasted Maple fingerboard for enhanced stability and a bolder sound. The roasted maple also gives the fingerboard a golden-brownish look for a more vintage vibe. The Bartolini MK-1 pickups and preamp deliver the trademark Bartolini sound with superb sound quality and value. The MK-1 provides punchy and warm mids and transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound. You can also switch between active and passive modes for different musical situations.

Stability and Tone Transfer with Hipshot and MetalCraft

The B4 Element features Hipshot Ultralite tuners for tuning accuracy and stability. The tuners are lightweight and reduce the neck-dive effect. The MetalCraft M bridge is a solid, high-mass bridge that enhances resonance and tone transfer. The bridge also has a dual string loading system that allows you to load the strings either through the body or from the top to find the best optimal string tension, resulting in enhanced sustain, greater playability and focused sound.
