A four-string bass guitar in the mid-price range from the Artisan series, created for demanding bass guitarists who need a versatile instrument with professional sound for studio and stage. The Cort B4 Element represents a thoughtful combination of premium materials, Bartolini branded electronics, and modern hardware at a reasonable price. The model is aimed at musicians who have outgrown the beginner level and are looking for an instrument with wide tonal capabilities for various genres, ranging from funk and jazz to rock and alternative.

The mahogany body with an ash top provides balanced sound across the entire spectrum. The Bartolini MK-1 pickups are known for their deep, full-bodied sound with expressive mids and clear highs. The active electronics with a built-in three-band EQ from Bartolini MK-1 allow for fine-tuning of the sound to suit any playing style, controlling low, mid, and high frequencies independently.

The five-layer neck made of panga-panga and walnut ensures stability and an expressive mid-range tone, while the thermally treated (Roasted) maple fingerboard with a golden-chocolate hue delivers a dense, powerful sound, ideally suited for pick playing and slap techniques. Among other features, the Cort B4 includes the MetalCraft M4 bridge with a dual-string installation system, lightweight Hipshot Ultralite tuners, and a 34" scale length.
