collapse expand iconDescription

The Cort Space 4 Artisan headless electric bass combines cutting-edge design with expert craftsmanship, delivering a lightweight, ergonomic instrument tailored for modern players. This 4-string bass showcases a stunning poplar burl top over a soft maple body, resulting in a tonal balance of tight lows and transparent highs. Equipped with Bartolini MK-1 pickups and a 3-band active EQ, the Space 4 offers a wide tonal palette, from punchy mids to brilliant highs. The unique headless design optimizes weight distribution and tuning stability, while the 7-piece roasted maple, walnut, and purple heart neck enhances playability and clarity. Designed for seamless performance, the Space 4 is a forward-thinking bass for musicians seeking precision and innovation.

Bartolini MK-1 Pickups With 3-Band EQ for Tonal Precision

The Cort Space 4's Bartolini MK-1 pickups deliver a refined tonal character, balancing punchy mids with brilliant highs for a versatile sound profile. The active 3-band EQ preamp enables precise tone shaping with dedicated controls for low, mid, and high frequencies, allowing players to fine-tune their sound to suit any performance need. Whether dialing in warm, full-bodied bass lines or crisp, articulate leads, the pickup and EQ combination ensures a balanced and professional tone. This setup provides the clarity and power needed for both studio sessions and live performances.

Maple and Poplar Burl Body for Balanced Resonance

The Space 4 bass features a soft maple body topped with a 6mm layer of poplar burl, creating a striking visual and tonal combination. Maple contributes tight, focused lows and a pronounced midrange, while the poplar burl top adds brightness and transparency to the high end. The shallow contours and bold cutaways of the body enhance player comfort, making this bass ideal for extended sessions. This thoughtful tonewood pairing results in an instrument that provides a resonant, articulate sound alongside an elegant, natural aesthetic.

Innovative Headless Electric Bass Design

The headless construction of this bass revolutionizes weight distribution, allowing for better balance during play. Custom-designed hardware integrates individual bridge saddles and tuner knobs directly into the body, ensuring maximum tuning stability and ease of adjustment. The zero fret further enhances playability by maintaining consistent string height and spacing, regardless of string gauge. This streamlined design eliminates the weight and bulk of traditional headstocks while maintaining excellent tonal performance and tuning precision, making it a highly ergonomic instrument for both practice and performance.

7-Piece Neck for Durability and Articulate Tone

The 7-piece neck, constructed from roasted maple, walnut, and purple heart, enhances both durability and tonal clarity. Roasted maple's focused midrange is complemented by walnut's warmth and purple heart's punchy resonance, creating a neck that is both stable and responsive. The roasted maple fretboard provides a smooth playing surface with excellent sustain and brightness, while the 34-inch scale ensures articulate note definition across all registers. This multi-wood construction not only adds visual appeal but also ensures a fast, consistent response, even in demanding playing conditions.

Designed for Precision and Ergonomic Playability

The Cort Space 4 Artisan headless electric bass is designed for players seeking innovation and comfort in their instrument. Its lightweight construction and ergonomic contours make it ideal for long studio sessions or live gigs, while the advanced electronics and premium tonewoods deliver clarity and power. Whether you're searching for a bass that offers effortless tuning stability or an instrument capable of producing articulate tones, the Space 4 provides the tools to inspire your creativity.
