Cort Artisan B5 Element Open Pore Natural 5String Bass Bartolini MK-1

Newly added are the new high-mass MetalCraft M5 bridges with dual string loading system that greatly enhances resonance and tone transfer, and a rounder ergonomic mahogany body with beautifully figured ash top that come in 3 different color options.
