Cort Artisan C5 Plus OVMH & C4 Plus OVMH Basses Cort Guitars has introduced the fivestring Artisan C5 Plus OVMH and four-string C4 Plus OVMH . Representing the evolution of Cort ’ s Artisan C4 Plus , both the Artisan C5 Plus OVMH and C4 Plus OVMH deliver a more familiar , rounder body shape that was previously only available on the company ’ s premium Artisan A models .
The new basses also offer a new Metal- Craft M bridge , and an ovangkol top in an antique brown-burst colour . The Artisan C5 Plus OVMH bass follows the tradition of Cort ’ s Artisan Series , offering high-end workmanship with a unique body made from an ovangkol top , mahogany wings , and maple core . These tonewoods deliver a blend of balanced tone , with Ovangkol sharing similar characteristics as rosewood and bubinga , with a slightly fuller midrange and a top-end that ’ s not as bright sounding , while the strategically-placed maple centre makes up for the missing highs .
The rounder body provides a classic unified look on the traditional bolt-on ( 34-in . scale ), but also delivers ergonomic comfort . The 24-fret Canadian hard maple neck with jatoba fretboard ( 15.75-in . radius ) adds stability and contributes punchiness to the overall tone of the instrument . Black hardware and die-cast tuners put a bold touch on an otherwise natural aesthetic .
