Cort

collapse expand iconDescription

The C5 Plus Electric Bass is the true workhorse of Cort's Artisan Series. Sure to satisfy veterans and beginning players alike, the Artisan C5 Plus features the familiar body shape that was previously only found in Cort's premium Artisan A models. This has been upgraded to include a MetalCraft M bridge with a versatile string loading system and a gorgeous ovangkol top for a natural and classy vintage look. Equipped with Bartolini single-coil pickups, the C5 Plus delivers plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent highs for a superbly balanced sound fit for a range of genres. Additional features include a Markbass MB-1 Preamp, a Canadrian hard maple neck and mahogany wings with a maple core.
