CORT - C4-DELUXE-BK - Artisan Series - Electric Bass Guitar - BLACK

Considered by many to be the flagship of the Artisan series, the Artisan C-Class now features cool new colors to truly make a statement wherever it's played. A lighter, more user-friendly poplar body is used, while the same premium hardware, such as the MetalCraft M bridge with versatile string loading system and the Bartolini® MK-1 pickup set with Markbass® MB-1 preamp, adds superb tone and playability to the new Artisan C4 Deluxe.

Poplar Body:

Poplar is a fine-grained wood reminiscent of alder in its sonic character. Boasting a full sound with powerful mids and firm, well-balanced bass across the entire tonal spectrum, Poplar is suitable for a variety of musical genres and playing styles for both electric guitars and basses.

Bartolini® MK-1 Pickups:

The signature Bartolini® sound is preserved in the MK-1 while delivering exceptional sonic quality and value. The MK-1 delivers plenty of punchy, warm mids and bright, transparent highs for a superbly balanced sound.

Markbass® MB-1 Preamp:

The Markbass® MB-1 preamp provides a very natural and transparent boost that doesn't color the organic nature or resonance of the instrument's woods. The combination of crystal clarity and natural warmth creates a passive feel with smooth bass, full-bodied mids, and bell-like highs.
