Introducing the ARTISAN SPACE 5 from CORT 

I love my Cort. Been playing it for about 16 years now and it always sounds so good and holds notes so well! I guess I need to add this to my wish list now 😅

Sounds great! Love the opening progressive metal sounding riffs.

Thanks for the review! My first 5 string bass was a Cort. They make great cheap instruments. I recently bought a much cheaper one, the Action 5 HH, it's quite good, especially for just $350 I paid for it. The only issue I couldn't fix for free is shitty tuners. So guys, if you're just starting out or just want to get a new bass without breaking the bank, Cort is the way to go. And I also want to say that you, Nate, is one of the very few bass players on RU-vid who not only doesn't hesitate to show their real playing, but actually got great timing. This is simultaneously the most crucial and the most overlooked skill on any instrument, not just the bass. Thanks for being a real musician.

Took that baby out for a gig last weekend just 2 days after receiving it. 5h Partycover gig for 1000+ people. I did not change strings or setup. I must say I was not entirely sure and had my Sandberg as a spare, but this was a no brainer. Played it the whole night. It did fit well into the party music genres of Rock/Pop/Soul stuff. No problems with the setup, although it was a gig in a party tent, changing temperatures and humidity outside due to a thunderstorm mid gig. No problemo! I am amazed by the craftsmanship this instrument is offering for such a competitive price. Well done, @cortguitars!

I would love to see some variety in pickups, they put mk1 everywhere...

Nat Navarro is one of the Krell, and if you have seen the Forbidden Planet, in which Walter Pigeon has been studying the advanced Krell civilization, which was comprised of absolute geniuses in terms of invention and creativity, then here is your evidence: no one else on the planet seemingly thinks and creates lines that are outside the realms of creativity and invention like this, none other than Nate Navarro! I will now go buy this bass for sure!

Nate could play a broomstick and make it sound amazing 😂

Your playing is amazing! We need more ad like this)

That is one mean sounding bass with some overdrive on it. Sounds just as good as a Dingwall!

although there's so many cool technical things about the bass, but my personal favorite thing about this bass is actually just the color of it 😂 but yeah, cool video anyways

Left handed bass players can only dream of these basses

wow so cool

Love the concept and sound. Just wish the bridge pup sounded better solo... but that this price point it's definitely a tolerable upgrade.

Great playing

I want one of these badly.

I wish Cortek kept iterating the Haz clone preamp they used in the NS-2A. This bass has a Spector vibe.

Cort basses are great, but they should stop shoveling those MK-1 split coils in every affordable model. Would be nice to see basses like this with single coils at least.

Dayum, I've just bought a Sire V7 5er and THIS thing comes out! I can't afford another one and I want it sooo much, especially in this green :-(

This is a sweet bass. But damn Nate! Your playing is sick and absolutely kills! So versatile. High five bro.

Truthfully I’m not a big fan of headless basses, but this one sounds pretty cool. Especially since it has bartolini electronics(which I am a big fan of). And the design is really nice.

I always appreciate your demos. They are very well produced and showcase what the instrument/amp is capable of in different configurations. You often use the Genzler Bass Array cabs. Do you have any experience with and thoughts on the BA12-3 version 2?

Interesting info from the "Bass the world" channel: They have measured the scale length and confirmed that it's a 35'' scale. @Nate Navarro: Can you please check this as well and (hopefully) confirm this? 😉

Iam watching your slap tutorial now it's fun ❤

Can we get a detailed comparison btw. Ibanez ehb and this bass?

Quick!!! Get a straight jacket!!! The guy is INSANE!!!

Heavy af!

thanx Nate, justice served. Informative, clean, badd ass techniques and just the right info! Thank you and not I want one... $old :)

Great playing as always. Not sure about these pickups though 🫤

Does anyone know what the song at the beginning of the video is? I would appreciate

nice Nuclear Power Trio Tone dude....

Would love to see if I could run this with a high C vs the low B!

The Bartolinis are game-breaker. They sound pretty dark and Cort pretty much puts them everywhere - C-, B- and A- series now have it as standard and only the A ultra ash features something else (fishman fluence pickups).. Other than that, seems like a good bass. Shame there isn't a 4-string version.

cort artisan bass are always a good base for mod. my favorite bass is my artisan 6. with delano sonar preamp ( from what i know, this preamp is really close to the bartolini one that is in MTD bass but for half the price in Europe) and MK6CBC pickup ( in serie for that ken smith sound, parallel is still too bright like the MK1 pickup but can come in handy when you play through a muddy amp/cab). honestly the only problem with the original artisan bass is the bridge that a real pain in the butt and depending on the setup, the intonation will be impossible to setup on certain string. honestly if they were to made a Artisan bass with an hipshot A bridge and bartolini USA electronic, even for 1600-1800 bucks, it will still be one of the best bass in that price.

Hey Nate, may I ask you how tall are you? That bass is really tempting but it also looks pretty small and I am 6'5 :D

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Read the history of the company. That’s some nightmare sauce right there.

Are all models offered by cort available left handed?

Nate, how’s the low B compare on this to a multiscale?

I'm debating grabbing this headless bass, or the Cort A5 SC (not fan fret). Which would you recommend? Going to a store to try them in not possible in the country where I live.

👍

I can’t find this bass on any of those links :(

Bass boss

I've played enough Corts already to know they make quality stuff, but I can't shake the feeling that they're asking a lot of money for their mid and upper range.

Can you hang this from a wall hanger with that little nub of a head?

No 4 string!?!

It's a fail with a 34 inch scale

Looks quite a bit like copied homework from Ibanez EHB series. :)

hiding this pretty burl top underneath paint should be punishable by death...

Seems to have a lot of the same DNA as Ibanez' headless models. Im also pretty sure that Cort builds a lot of Ibanez basses
