The Cort B4 Element is a standout in the revamped Artisan Series, blending premium features with player-focused design. This beautifully crafted bass combines a figured white ash top on a mahogany body, delivering a balanced tone with warm lows and bright, transparent highs. Perfectly suited for professionals and enthusiasts alike, the B4 Element’s ergonomic body shape ensures both comfort and style on stage or in the studio.

Equipped with powerful Bartolini® MK-1 pickups and a matching MK-1 preamp system, you’ll enjoy punchy mids, sparkling highs, and flexible tone shaping via the onboard 3-band EQ and active/passive switch. The high-mass MetalCraft M4 bridge enhances sustain and resonance, while Hipshot® Ultralite tuners offer superior tuning stability without the weight.

Crafted for players who demand versatility, reliability, and premium sound, the B4 Element is your passport to professional-level performance, whether you're laying down tracks or holding down the groove at your next gig.
