Meet the Cort Space 5, a 5-string headless bass finished in Star Dust Green that blends Cort’s pioneering spirit with modern, on-the-road practicality. Built to shrink the footprint without sacrificing tone, it’s ideal for players who crave compact design, precise control, and a wide expressive range.

• Maple body with Poplar Burl Top delivers an articulate attack and shimmering top-end with a natural, welcoming resonance.
• New Space body shape enhances comfort and balance, making extended playing sessions feel effortless—from studio setups to live stages.
• Bartolini MK-1 pickups paired with an active 3-band EQ give you a versatile palette—from tight, pogo‑funking lows to singing highs and a vocal mid presence that cuts through a mix.
• Specially designed hardware tailored for headless stability and precise intonation, so you can trust tuning and setup from gig to studio cut.
• 7‑piece Roasted Maple, Walnut and Purple Heart neck delivers rigidity, sustain, and a smooth, fast feel across the fretboard.
• Headless design with Steinberger‑licensed tuners for compact, balanced ergonomics and quick, accurate tuning—perfect for flight cases, stages, and bustling rehearsal spaces.
• Color: Star Dust Green adds a contemporary, eye-catching aesthetic that stands out on any stage or in the studio.

Why this matters for you

The Space 5 is built for players who want a full-feature 5-string experience without the bulk of a traditional headstock. The headless setup reduces overall length and weight, improving balance whether you’re seated or standing. The 7‑piece Roasted Maple, Walnut and Purple Heart neck offers stability and a silky playing surface—especially welcome when you’re bending notes in lower registers or laying down tight, palm-muted grooves in heavier styles.

Versatile tone shaping helps you traverse genres with ease. The Bartolini MK‑1 pickups deliver an expansive dynamic range, while the 3-band EQ lets you sculpt from punchy, scooped modern tones to warm, authoritative lows and glassy highs. Use the bridge and neck pickup blend to carve your core voice, then refine with EQ to sit perfectly in a mix—on stage or in headphones during a late-night session.

Who this is for

• Players who value a compact, headless design for travel, stage rigs, and tight rehearsal spaces.
• Artists seeking precise EQ control and a broad tonal window without sacrificing string definition or attack.
• Musicians moving between genres—rock, funk, jazz-fusion, metal—who need a reliable 5-string with a bold, contemporary aesthetic.

Practical notes and insights

• The combination of maple body, poplar burl top, and the 7‑piece neck contributes both brightness and sustain, helping your notes ring clearly whether you palm-mute or fingerpick.
• Headless tuners provide quick string changes and stable tuning in transit, especially when using a rugged gig bag or flight case.
• The Star Dust Green finish not only looks striking under stage lights but also hides minor surface wear well, keeping the instrument looking sharp over time.
• Tip for tone shaping: start with the pickups blended toward the neck for warmth, then sweep the EQ to carve presence in solos or to sit cleanly in a dense band mix.
