C5 Deluxe 5-String Bass Features
Poplar Body
Poplar is a fine tonewood that is reminiscent of Alder in sonic character. 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.
Hard Maple Neck With 24-fret Jabota Fingerboard
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
The trademark Bartolini® sound is preserved in the MK-1 while providing outstanding 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.
MarkBass® MB Instrument Pre Preamp
Markbass® MB-1 preamp provides Cort Artisan C5 Deluxe 5-string bass with a very natural and transparent boost that does not color 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.
