Cort B4 Element Electric Bass Open Pore Translucent Black

The Cort B4 Element reimagines the esteemed Artisan B-class bass with premium updates: a rounder ergonomic body, ash-top mahogany construction, a roasted maple fretboard on a Panga Panga/Walnut neck, Bartolini MK-1 pickups and preamp, high-mass MetalCraft M4 bridge, and ultra-light Hipshot tuners. It’s crafted for pro-level tone, playability, and performance.
