Description
Cort Artisan A4 Plus Open Pore Active Bass
For players wanting a premium bass that doesn’t break the bank, the Cort Artisan A4 Plus is a smart choice! With high end features including Bartolini pickups and Hip Shot bridges for better performance, the Cort A4 Plus bass delivers on all fronts.
Figured Maple Top on Mahogany Body
Mahogany’s warm and emphasized low-midrange is complemented by the high-midrange and treble of 5-piece Maple & Wenge neck for a perfectly balanced and coherent sound. The Flame Maple top on the body adds a high-class upgraded look and a touch of tonal definition.
Bartolini® MK-1 Pickups
The trademark Bartolini sound is preserved in the MK-1 while providing superb sound quality and value. The MK-1 delivers plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound.
Bartolini® MK-1 EQ
Bartolini’s renowned MK-1 preamp provides powerful yet transparent boost along with its trademark crisp high-end. The MK-1 transfers the natural liveliness of the bass through a flexible 3-band equalizer for a variety of applications ranging from studio recording to large concert halls. It also provides a switchable active/passive mode for a powerful modern active sound or an organic traditional passive sound.
Neck-Thru Body Construction
When it comes to punch and sustain, nothing beats neck-thru-body construction. The strings vibrate across the body and neck in coherent and linear manner, maximizing the tightness of the low-end with rich mids and singing highs.
Hipshot® TransTone Bridge
The string-thru-body and top-load construction facilitates greater tonal range while adding punch and enhancing sustain, perfectly complementing the longer 34” scale’s tighter string tension and focused sound.
5pcs Maple & Panga Panga Neck
The strength and brightness of Maple is ideally balanced with the warm midrange of Panga Panga. The results are superb playability & feel, as well as tonal definition.
Hipshot® Ultralite Machineheads
The Artisan basses are equipped with 20:1 tuning ratio Hipshot Ultralite Tuners. They’re constructed from cast zinc with aluminum posts and mounting nuts, which results in 30% weight reduction over regular tuners. The result is improved balance and tuning accuracy.
