The combination of the Poplar burl top on the soft maple body ensures a great balance between tight full sounding lows and bright and transparent highs, not to mention beautiful wood grain of the Poplar burl top for a more natural organic aesthetic. Echoing the legacy of the 80s Space basses, the Space 5 reimagines the classic for the modern era. Its heart lies in the revered Artisan Bass Series, borrowing its body and neck design, but with a twist. Sculpted for comfort and boldness, the Space 5 boasts deeper contours and daring cutaways, all while embracing the liberating spirit of headless design. Individual bridge saddles and integrated tuner knobs complete the transformation, making the Space 5 a timeless icon reborn. 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. The accompanying active 3-band EQ preamp enables players to equalize and fine tune the perfect tone with its low, mid, and high frequency adjustment knobs. Head piece and individual bridges were carefully developed and rigorously tested to ensure maximum tuning and playing stability, as well as keeping the Space 5 as light, compact, and hassle-free as possible. The zero fret does the job of the bass nut by setting the string height over the fretboard when being played open. The nut is still used as a guide to set the string spacing before going to the tuners. Since the nut is not responsible for the open notes, players can change to any string gauge without worrying about resizing or replacing the nut, and be free from any unwanted friction between the nut and the strings. Roasted maple, renowned for its focused midrange, takes center stage, bolstered by the punchy clarity of purple heart and the rich warmth of walnut.
