Cort Artisan C5 Deluxe 5-String Bass – Black

Performance & Value Packed

Cort C5 Deluxe 5-string bass sets a new standard. It surpasses any other bass we've had in the past at this price. Seriously!

Alder Tone

Poplar is a fine tonewood that is reminiscent of Alder in sonic character. So, this 5-string bass is full sounding with strong mids and a firm low-end that’s well balanced across the tonal spectrum, Poplar suits a variety of musical genres and playing styles for both electric guitars and basses.

Easy Access 24-Fret Neck

The combination of a Hard Maple neck and Jatoba fretboard provides tone balance and stability, as well as long sustaining durability.

Bartolini® MK-1 Pickups

Bartolini® MK-1 soapbar pickups provide plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound.

Markbass® Active EQ Preamp

Markbass® MB-1 preamp provides this 5-string bass with a very natural and transparent boost that does not colour the organic nature or resonance of the instrument’s woods. The combination of crystal clarity and natural warmth exudes a passive feel with smooth lows, full-bodied mids, and bell-like highs.

Your Instrument Arrives Ready to Play

Unlike many retailers who ship instruments straight from the factory—untouched and unchecked—we take an extra step to ensure yours is truly ready to play. Every guitar and bass we sell is carefully inspected, adjusted, and set up before it leaves our hands. We check the neck, electronics, action, and overall playability so you receive an instrument that feels just right from day one. No surprises, no hassle—just pure musical inspiration straight out of the box. That’s the difference when you buy from us.
