Referred by many as the main workhorse of the Artisan Series, the Artisan C Class has now received new cool colors to really make a presence wherever it is being played. A lighter, more player-friendly Poplar body is used, while the same premium hardware such as the MetalCraft M bridge with versatile string loading system and Bartolini® MK-1 pickup set with Markbass® MB-1 preamp add superb tone and playability to the new Artisan C4 / C5 D - EB Model: C5 DELUXE - Construction: Bolt-On - Body: POPLAR - Neck: Hard Maple - Fretboard: Jatoba - FB Radius: 15.75"(400㎜) - Frets: 24 - Scale: 34"(864㎜) - Nut Material: PPS - Nut Width: 1 3/4 "(45㎜) - Inlay: White Dots - Tuners: Die-Cast - Bridge: MetalCraft M5 - Pickups: Bartolini® MK-1 Pickup Set - Electronics: Markbass® MB-1 - Hardware: Black - Strings: D'Addario® EXL170-Finished in CBL(Candy Blue)
Poplar is a fine tonewood that is reminiscent of Alder in sonic character. Full sounding with strong mids and a firm low-end that’s well balanced across the tonal spectrum, Poplar suits a variety of musical genres and playing styles for both electric guitars and basses.
The trademark Bartolini® sound is preserved in the MK-1 while providing outstanding sound quality and value. The MK-1 delivers plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound.
The Markbass® MB-1 preamp provides a very natural and transparent boost that does not color the organic nature or resonance of the instrument’s woods. The combination of crystal clarity and natural warmth exudes a passive feel with smooth lows, full-bodied mids, and bell-like highs.
