General

Part of Cort's Artisan Series, the B4 Element does everything right, including the price. This four-string bass combines an open-pore finish with a mahogany body, ash top and 5-piece walnut-and-panga-panga neck, where the fretboard is made from roasted maple for increased stability and aesthetics. Known for supporting great tuning stability and intonation, the Hipshot Ultralite tuners and the MetalCraft M4 bridge are also worth pointing out.

The B4 Element: Flexible Electronics

While the slim neck, flat fretboard and rounded body contours take care of a satisfying playing feel, the Bartolini preamp and MK-1 soapbar pickups take care of amplifying the warm-and-woody foundation sound. Here, the potent 3-band EQ controls, balancer pot and passive/active switch give you more than enough ways to steer as sounded as needed depending on your favourite style, whether it's rock, funk, punk or pop.

Cort B4 Element Open Pore Burgundy Red Electric Bass Guitar
Wrote the following about Cort B4 Element Open Pore Burgundy Red Electric Bass Guitar
Een tijd geleden heb ik een basgitaar van Squier gekocht,. Het hoefde helemaal niet zo super, want meestal speel ik klassieke gitaar, staalsnarig, of elektrisch, De Squier gekocht om gewoon eens lekker "simpel" te bassen. Dat viel dus behoorlijk tegen, want het is dus echt een discipline op zich! De Squier beviel best goed. Het was er wel een van het duurdere segment. Netjes afgewerkt en goed afgesteld. Maar aangezien het geen longscale bass was, bleef er toch iets jeuken. Een gevoel van niet helemaal echt. Flauwekul natuurlijk, maar zo werkt dat denk ik en niet alleen bij mij. Toen ik de financiële mogelijkheden had toch een stapje verder te doen, heb ik gezocht naar een longscale bass van middenklasse. En eigenlijk viel ik al heel snel voor de Cort B4 element open pore bugundy red. Liefde op het eerste gezicht! Het is lang niet altijd aan te bevelen zomaar een gitaar over het internet te bestellen, maar aangezien ik alleen maar goede ervaringen heb met Bax heb ik het er weer op gewaagd. En ik ben niet teleurgesteld! De gitaar is een schoonheid. De klankmogelijkheden zijn groot, het speelgemak geweldig, het roasted fingerboard voelt heel goed en luxe aan en de afwerking van de gitaar is geweldig. Ik ben er enorm tevreden mee, maar moet wel de kanttekening maken, dat ik eigenlijk geen bassist ben, maar dat spijt me met zo'n gitaar eigenlijk des te meer!
